That guys on here, Pinho is his username i think, it's a J32 in a civic lol

incredulous1

theres more than one of those. i actually dream about doing so with a 6 speed, but maybe when i win the lottery

davzilla

cause we are joking and you were serious?

davzilla

i wanna stuff the f22 from my cb7 into an eg. i think i might just do it to save gas at work, lol. well maybe, that thing runs on premium, but the civic is lighter, so with my luck it'll end up being the same.

DjXtC34

DaInFaMMuS1

DjXtC34

i found a j30 for 200 bucks i go get it on tuesday. i got it from some company. i got a 90 day warranty. but ima still build something when i get the money

davzilla

Dblock0405

Dblock0405

going to get my j30 today so i can get my car back on the road. and after alil thinking, i want to do the j32 6 spd........

Josh99CL

Me too, got 6-8 grand to spare?

tunit

Yeah i would do the J32 swap with the six speed, dont use your stock tranny it would tear it apart after a while. It would be a lot of work but totally worth it. You would need new wiring, new ECU, amongst a whole list of things... as long as you have the tech know how do it other wise it would be your best bet to get someone to do it for you, or if thats a lot of money just buy a new car...what ever you think would be best.

Anhedonia

Cocoa said the hardest part was wiring it

Alee:)

Just curious, but how many miles were on your car?

Dblock0405

there was 147k

Alee:)

I'm creepin up there!
Hopefully I won't have it anymore before my tranny goes out.

Dblock0405

i finally got my motor. about to do the swap. is there anything i should do while im doing the work. shit i should do and add. anything cool?

Anhedonia

transmission cooler, tps valve? dunno whats a bitch to do on the 3.0

Dblock0405

are those like usual problems with the 3.0?

Anhedonia

tps valve is pretty common in all platforms, and a transmission cooler will lengthen the life of your tranny. its highly reccomended to all auto trans drivers.

and i have to replace the sunroof motor. it crapped out. it wont move at all

Dblock0405

has anyone changed the sunroof motor?

Anhedonia

^^ pull down the headliner, unscrew, clip in, reattach headliner. voila.

Dblock0405

i kno how to do it. but i wonder if anybody else did. and i cant find the motor for the sunrof anywere. i called an Acura dealer and they said they didnt have any. i have to go hunting for it now. do u kow if they are the same as any other car? like the 94- 97 accord

Anhedonia

yes, same as the accord.. probably even the TL

Dblock0405

what yr tl? wannna see if i can get it cheap

Anhedonia

go for accord if your looking for cheap.. 94-97. my gf's 97 accord had the exact same assembly my cl does.

Dblock0405

im bidding on one. its still on .99 with 10 dollar shipping. got one day left. and i got to buy a window regulator. the driver side is crapping out. now im looking for prices on radiators and more cooling stuff. i need a new radiator. and im gunna order the trans cooler. but it sucks when ur just grabbing moneyy from the savings account. i lost my job and i start a new one on money. so maybe ima hold off and wait till i start working.
