the only reason i keep posting about it is that i have some friends in the ITR forum that probably don't venture into the Prelude forum.

I'm sorry if I'm a little proud of what I did. Heck, any monkey with a wrench can bolt on a exhaust, but how many people would have the initiative to try something different to their car? Make a modification to your car not because everyone else is doing it or because it ‘looks cool’?

Sorry, just venting.

I still have a couple bugs to work out, then I’ll see if I can set it up as a kit.

I was hanging out with the ITR-NC club and I told them what my plans were for the tiptronic. They told me to keep them updated cause it sounds like a neat project.

I myself love seeing any cool chit done to ANY car...........I would plan to see stuff like this in the R board before the others.... auto or not; cool, one of akind chit is good to see, and the R board viewers will most likely enjoy it before the others...maybe/maybe not.

It's true, there is no black & white. But where do you draw the line?

It's the coolest automatic I've ever seen. If you're stuck with an auto, why not have fun with it? Don't hate, congratulate.

the best "auto" i have ever seen is the sequential six speed in the BMW M3 SMG...you can do it auto or true sequential shift style and determine how quick the shifts are....in the fastest setting it is WAY faster than any human could do it and the transmissions rev-matches itself, double clutches all that cool stuff on its own at the appropriate times and when you are tired or lazy you can just put it into "A" and let it do itself....i want a 6 speed sequential tranny like that....especially in a M3

definitely a cool idea...

and hey, some of us R owners may have another car/beater that's an automatic...

nice work, let us know when you get it perfected!

Yep, and figure out a way to adapt it to non-sportshift autos
