ATS 4.9 Final Drive, ATS Counter Shaft & JDM First


Excedy Clutch, Pressure plate & throw out bearing


I've got a spoon flywheel sitting at home that is also going on this weekend. Should be a blast. One thing is the fawking excedy pressure plate weights a ton. I don't know about other, but man that sucker is heavy. I've got all the other misc. parts that are needed also. Going to sears tonight to pick up the final tools needed. I'm going to take pictures of everything while we do it and post up a final impression along with what each gear redlines at and what the rpms drop to between each shift. This is going on a bone stock ITR (timing set to 18deg, everything else stock) so it should be interesting.

Thanks to Dave @ R&D and Mike @ IPS and Mike K at Naples Acura. Thanks for getting everything here on time and for all your help.

Good times

 

NICE....

btw, i'm bringing along some of the honda super high temp urea based grease for the input shaft/throw out bearing... in case you don't have any..

D

 

Funny you should say that, my gf is at Honda right now picking some up for me I'm also getting her to get some more MTF (got 3 quarts, but just in case) and some more bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel, just incase also cause I know the Toda flywheel needs more.

 

Goodluck on the install

 

sounds fun

 

Good Luck?!?! GOOD LUCK?!?!??! Biatch, We-Todd-Did Racing will be in da hizouse for the install... oh...

yeah, Good Luck Craig.

We can do some pulls, I'll roll you first, then after the ATS, you should roll my *** big time

 

Shi..., did you forget I have an ITR... ITR's can roll anything, yet alown a GSR

Have a safe drive down and see you tonight. D is leaving around 5pm, Jack is already down here, but has a dinner tonight (possibly).

yeah, like they'll have them in stock.... maybe i'll swing by the junkyard real quick on my way out...

D

 

Boy, you know you can't touch my 169whp/122.9ft-lb BEAST. Specially with my Faoons on dat bitch, she's tiiizziiiite.

 

 

That would be kick *** because I just spoke to her and they said that they could not look them up (she is at Honda) because its an Acura. I told her tell them its an IS and everything should fit. She is going to call me when she gets done to let me know, but it would be great if you could pick some up also. Better safe then sorry. I'll buy you a couple of lap dances for it

Nice. Why the JDM 1st?

 

i'm gonna head out now then...

call me if i'm needed..

D

 

Kewl beans, she just called and they did not have them. So if you could pick some up, I'll make it worth your wild. Thanks again.

 

The ATS & JDM counter shaft have a bigger OD (outer diameter) then the USDM so the USDM first will not fit on the ATS/JDM counter shaft. And you have to replace the counter shaft to match the ratio on the final drive. It was all included. It also came with the distancing collar and needle bearings.

Just remember guys...

LEFT HAND THREADS



Enjoy!

 

D is going to be here, I don't think he'll let us do that

 

Yeah.. but we'll be drinking 40s!

 

I'm going to pick up some more beer tonight for tomorrow incase the 40's run out. What kind of beer do you like? I know Jason & D are Bud light, I like Mich light, Jack is a coors man. What do you want?

I'll bring the dremal too, lets see how much weight we can shave off the inside of the tranny, should be fun to do while lite up

Do you need an alignment tool?

 

I'll F'ing drink all your Honda wrenching asses under the work bench....... Put your livers in a vise and clamp down on that light weight ***. Got to eat with some suppliers tonight but will crash the garage tomorrow early. Maybe late tonight.


SFL ****.

 

SFL ****?!?!? You wish you were a SFL boy... where else can you work on your car at 1am and still be sweating in t-shirt and shorts?
