The only problem is that the center console is brown, and the new driver seat is actually a passenger seat! So there will be some pan swapping and painting to do...

 

sounds like your luck is like mine heh.i need full interior and exterior for my rex

 

<U>***UPDATE 8/18/06***</U>

Well, a long overdue update. I got some goodies! Some for speed, some for the hell of it.

Autometer Carbon Fiber A/F Guage installed! I didn't have a cigarette ligher anyway so I figured I could stick it in there. Looks clean and out of the way. It's still visable so I can keep an eye on whether I go lean. It's pretty much useless during normal driving, but when you floor the gas, it'll tell you whether you're running rich or lean or stoich. nothing more, nothing less. And that's all I need...



I also got a center console and a GSR leather shift boot! Here it is all mocked up. I need to paint it black as it is an ugly poop brown color.



And here it is, an actual Si transmission. Finally! I did these two tests on it before bringing it home, lol.




Junk in da Trunk!

I go in for surgery for my jaw on Monday, so I think maybe next weekend If i'm up to it. It should be MUCH faster. I should really feel it cause I'll be going from the slowest tranny Honda makes to the fastest. <U>Si &gt; HF.</U>

 

Did you get the tranny in?

 

As I type right now, my head is swollen up like a basketball and my jaws are wired shut. So no, it's not in. I'll let yall know when the ball starts rolling again...

 

 

Is your head still swollen like a basketball?

Why yes, it is, thank you for asking

I get the bands cut off tomorrow. I can't tell you guys how bad I want to just eat SOMETHING! Soup and blended **** for a week is making me get all cravey like a pregnant chick.

 

i feel for ya,that would suck.well hope ya get feelin better and can get some damn progress done hah j/k

 

<U>***UPDATE 9/1/06***</U>

Started the tranny install! Should be finished with it tomorrow.

Surgical area exposed:


Dizzy and clutch cable removed:


All suspension components and axles removed:


Starter out. BTW: Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch and Si flywheel that's gonna get my power to the ground once the nitrous kit gets here.


All tranny mounts removed and the engine supported with a jack:


Look whats sitting in the trunk!


That's as far as I got today. The tranny is completely seperated, I just gotta undo the bolts holding it to the motor and I'll slide her out! I didn't wanna leave it unbolted cause it could bend the shaft.

I was actually pretty pleased, the whole process only took me 3 hours. I'm getting better at this, lol.

BTW: Finalized my nitrous setup:

Nitrous Express Mainline Kit (Jetted to a 75 shot)

NGK Two Step Colder Plugs

- Summit total including shipping: $418

Walbro 190lph In-tank Fuel Pump

MSD Digital Window Switch (Set to cut off at 6300: 200 rpm below redline.)

- Lightning Motorsports total including shipping: $177

- Total Nitrous Setup Cost: <U>$595.</U>

Other setup features I'll be doing are: retard timing 2 degrees, and when spraying add high octane, unleaded racing fuel to ward off detonation.

I'm looking forward to this!

 

<U>***UPDATE 9/2/06***</U>

The old tranny is out! Peice of cake other than that goddamn bitch pin!!!



**** top speed and gas mileage!



Yay for pure acceleration!



While I had all mounts out I decided to make them pure solid mounts. 3M Windo-Weld is a urethane polymer that stiffens up motor mounts really well. Just fill in all the gaps with it and 24 hrs later you have wheel-hop killing solid mounts!






Doesn't look pretty but it works!

The new tranny has been fully prepped for install and is ready to go! I think I may just do it tomorrow cause I want to give the mounts time to cure properly.

 

for progress, just don't get curious this time and take apart certain things that don't need to be I'll take that top end tranny from you sometime this week. I'll also help you complete the swap if you want. If you have time and a torque wrench go back over the flywheel and clutch bolts please!

Already did!

Sorry for the lack of pix on this update. Tranny is in and runs great. I'm kinda dreading any long highway trips though, lol. Gears are short as hell.

When I shift from 1st at 6500 it drops into 2nd at 5000. It's awesome. there's like no lag at all.

I took it to the meet tonight and impressed a couple friends.
