a win/ win situation
i got 5g's ready to be poured into my CL.. originally, i had planned for my CL to undergo a JDM h22 swap and also convert to 5 speed. the shop thats doing the swap has not returned my calls or private messages. im getting impatient, and im having second thoughts about the swap.. i made a deal with myself that if the shop doesnt reply in the next week or so, ill be using the 5g's into a custom paint job, full body kit, and possibly rims. thats a sweet deal.. though my #1 priority is swapping motor and converting to 5 speed.

the question you gotta ask yourself is.......is it really worth all that money to go a few seconds faster?
I really wanted to make my car quick, do the 5spd and H22 swaps, but after thinking more and more about it, i came to the conclusion that its not worth it. To me anyway, everyone else is different. My shit looks good, thats all i care about, when i get my next car, it ll be fast from the factory, and thats the one im' gonna deck out for speed.

not only a few seconds faster, but a great investment for power. i think its well worth it. 50+ extra hp is cake. whats most important is that youll have more potential over the stock f22/23 motor.
"everyone has different tastes" like you said, as for me, its going to be worth having a "fuckingfast" CL .

The CL IS an Accord. And a civic is still slow. Turbo civics only run 13s.

like i said before, i made up my mind already. if i cant get the h22 deal then im going to get something else with my money. the reason why, is because ive searched so long to find a GREAT deal for the h22 swap + 5 speed conversion. this shop offered me a GREAT deal, 5,000$ for everything including labor! it is like an offer i couldnt refuse, because ive been quoted 6500-7000 for the swap + 5 speed at 2 other shops on the island. im going to stop by the shop and ask um whats up. i finally got enough money for this, and now its taking forever to fucking order it because someone is not replying to any of my messages

damn bro good luck i can get it for 3800-4000 motor tranny ecu axles.... hawaii must be taking all your money..
damn. . . 5 g's for a kit and paint? the paint better be made of 24 k gold.
your probably better of just throwing mad stuff into your stock engine like bolt-ons and wheels too
anyways thanks for the feedback. im still trying to get in touch with the shop owner. update later.
peace
