Donor 98-02 v6 accord so i can do a auto to manual 6speed swap


i think I'm missing a lot of things, but yea this is it atm and if u have anything to add or recommend just let me know.

 

Uhh, are you completely stock right now? Cause that right there is a shit load of money.

 

where are you located

 

Houston Texas and I'm not gonna do all of it at once ill probably do the cheapest 1st. and later on down the road ill do the harder stuff. ill stay auto for now. but brakes, wheels, and a few other r gonna be replaced asap.

 

that one is going to be PITA. and alot of money

 

lol the donor car is a maybe and yea that would b the most expensive part but i might just stick with auto even though i hate it >_>

 

id do the auto to manual part first.

let me know how it goes

 

Who are you?

 

Duh.... Itz Eric

 

 

lol

 

never heard of a manual v6 98-02 accord. no such thing unless maybe you can use a 3.2 cl-s tranny..

 

BTW change your name

 

yeah, good luck on the tranny, they didnt make 6-speed V6 accords until the 7th gen and thats 03-07........... but on a brighter note they still use J30 blocks, so the tranny should just bolt right up to your J30

and as for the intake, just go SRI, its less of a pain in the rain, and alot less pain just on the install, and the filter cleanings

 

You may want to read up more on this site, a number of your future mods will have to be custom, like the DC headers downtube will have to be bent to fit, there are no cams for our cars, you would have to modify a cam from a type S or something which requires machining, there are no direct replacement calipers for our cars, and any accord body pieces will of course need modified, just keep things like that in mind

 

^^^ well now thaqt you mention it, yeah, 3.0s arent so great of a tuning base, the 2.Xs on the other hand are......... Accord parts for the engine bolt directly in, we also have an H22 swap option for even more mod friendliness, and all sorts of fun

 

They're great from tuning, but like I said, just not from a bolt on perspective, gotta be custom. That's one of the main reasons I bought mine

 

eh i didnt have a say so on what my car was but since its considered mines id rather make it a lil better =D cuz i hate it atm >_> plus im thinking of painting it black i kinda dont like the stock blue =(

 

I can't argue with that

 

^^ avatar.......

no you didnt....did you?

 

No, it's an OLD members car, I had the 2 pics and always wanted to animate them so I did, he was one of the first bagged CL's on this forum, can't remember his name though he was from Texas

 

oh....ha. I was going to give you the thumbs up brutha!

 

Wasnt it Baka?


Crap, I cant remember his name..

 

Nope wasn't baka, and baka certainly doesn't live in texas

 

and neither can I

 

If I knew now, 2 years ago I would have saved a shit ton of money and just bagged it from the start, now that I've gone and blown so much money into suspension (around 4 grand) I am just getting one more set of good coils and calling it a day, next project will probably be bags all the way
