I went yesterday to get the trans fluid rear main seal and that grease, and the dealership said they dont sell that grease, and told me to go to autozone. But I got the fluid and seal and thats how I was able to put my car together...... I just need a starter, Intake Manifold (which is on its way, and throttle body.

I hope I can have it running in 2 weeks, money seems to be the issue when I need stuff, but thank goodness I get paid every week.

See, I'm trying to have ALL the parts I need before I even think about starting. Then get John and Joe up here and do the whole swap in a few days.

What does everyone think of this for a custom license plate -- 6MT UA5

Sounds good.

but I like this.


"TL-P ON U"

fsttyms1

They are FULL of it. They sell the grease. It comes in a nice little red and white HONDA box. Its even in the manual as to what to use. Go over to your honda dealer. It will probably be cheaper anyway.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Anyone?

Maybe I need to add a poll to the thread and keep it open for the next few weeks.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

He was saying that the dealership doesn't sell it. Maybe they have it in stock, but don't sell it to regular customers .

Aman

I like it, but I think TL-P ON U is better. Especially when you smoke whatever gay civics

MurkyRiversTL

he said they dont sell it, and they dont use greae on the bearing that its a sealed bearing, when its obvious when you look at it that its not sealed. I did go to the Honda dealer, the Acura dealer is like 60 miles further.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Hmm who did you talk to? Maybe talk to the parts manager or some other kind of manager.

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

Especially since he's keeping the TL-P motor.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Does ON U mean somethings else or just "On you"?



Choices so far:

6MT TLP
6MT UA5
6 SPEED
TLP ON U

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

Yea.

Like,

T L Pee On You... or TL-P ON YOU

two meanings.

AHAHA that'd be great. Someone getting there ass whooped by a TL-P and reading that license plate..

or chasing someone and they're looking in there rearview saying..

TL-P is on me? WTF?

Sorry just ranting. I just thought it was funny and being creative.

BTW, i don't think anyone else in the world has those plates yet.

Be a pioneer.

See if the state plate censors will pass it- might be considered vulgar
Some places, you have to have a believable story for odd plates- has a space right on the request form.
You can also check for plates already in use on your states dmv site

fsttyms1

They sell it. I bought it there. At least mine does.

MurkyRiversTL

ill have to go back and try again. Not that big of a deal though.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

If you can't get it, are you just going to use a universal grease to pack the bearing?

How many quarts of MTF should I pick up from the Honda dealer?

Shift boot finally came in after a few weeks
Just a POS $13 one off eBay for now
We'll see what I can find later

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

So it doesn't matter which shift boot you order as long as it's a shiftboot?

The one at acura cost about 90 bucks.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea I know that's why I went this route

Since I am not putting in the Type-S motor, I didn't want to get the CL console anyway, b/c it has that Type-S logo.

I am just going to use that black trim piece around the auto shifter and make the boot go around that. My mom loves sewing and Arts & Crafts and shit so I am going to take the car there once I'm done and see what she can do to make it look good. I kind of want the boot to go around the trim piece b/c of that knockout for the shifter lock release.

fsttyms1

Yea but the acura one comes with the trim ring and shift pattern and S logo (even if you dont have the S motor)

Also Dont buy the CL shift knob. Get the New TL shift knob. It will sit slightly lower and looks better.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

I dremeled off the top 1/4 inch (of the threaded part) of the auto lever. May do that to get the knob to sit even lower, or I might even look into the short shifter.

6MTUA5

All my other Honda parts came in today and everything else should be here by the weekend .

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

...and I just finished talkin' to a buddy of mine who's friend has a big garage, engine hoist, and all the other tools we will need. He's talking to the guy who owns the property about me coming out there to do the swap.

AMGala

iTrader: (4)

That would make your swap SO much easier! Good luck!

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Still waiting for him to call me back

fsttyms1

The short throw shifter doesnt lower the shaft height, just the throw. Get a different shift knob like the TSX or the TL shifter. They sit lower, have the shift pattern on them and feel better in your hand. If you know someone with a welder you can cut about 1" out of the shaft and reweld it to get it lower.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

The "shop" I mentioned earlier has a welder so he might be able to.

Random Technology High Flow Cat, hardware kit and 02 extender

MurkyRiversTL

very nice, I wonder how much of a difference it will be. Im gonna go with a test pipe, just to see what its like.

johnr5

Kris... what the hell is this?... it looks like some fucked up jello project gone wrong

fsttyms1

MurkyRiversTL

yeah, hopefully youll get the right one, even though it says type s.

6MTUA5

iTrader: (2)

Yea, I may do the whole center console and boot if I can find it for cheap and get another insert made for that little spot. The same size, with the shift pattern and maybe an Acura (A) instead of the S.

Got my Innovative motor mounts from Excelerate in today





Notice the front mount is a little taller than the rear

Will 4 quarts of the updated Honda MTF be enough?
