- sports cat..... check - sounds deeper and "like a motorbike" (Karen).... check - pulls well... check only had a 10min drive from picking her up tgo dropping her at the body shop to get the door sorted, and most of that was in traffic / 30 mph zones, but I'm happy so far great place as well - guys really know there stuff. Wish I'd known about them before I'd got all of the other bits done.

got them from this website: http://www.acurapartsnow.com/find-parts/Acura/INTEGRA/1999/3DR%20LS/KA5MT/MT%20COUNTERSHAFT%20%281%29 and http://www.acurapartsnow.com/find-parts/Acura/INTEGRA/1999/3DR%20LS/KA5MT/MT%20MAINSHAFT so about $150 + postage + import tax can't remember what it came to... think it was about £120 (edit: the £120 included shipping) getting a bit excited now
-
yup - this is both here: on a side note, I'm pencilled in for next Friday / all weekend for the gear box...... and sports cat this Saturday
-
rear ones that aren't prone to sticking would be nice too
-
looks a doddle really good write up that though
-
couldn't say tbh... all I know is that it's a 3d jigsaw that I don't fancy taking on (but I'd quite like to help out with to see it's guts)
-
wozers bud - that's awsomely clean when you say polished underneath, how do you mean? (and any pics?)
-
sounds like a plan bud you know I'll be up for it..

don't think that there's a longer final drive in standard b-series boxes than ours... see here: http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/Bgears.htm

dc2 one will stop gathering dust and will be put into action

and if I just put the 4.7fd in and left 5th as it was it'd be 3900 at 70mph http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalculator.php?kmh=0&tirewidth=195&tireprofile=55&wheelsize=15&tirediameter1=23.44&maxrpm1=8000&finaldrive1=4.26&gearratio1=3.23&gearratio2=1.9&gearratio3=1.36&gearratio4=1.034&gearratio5=0.848&gearratio6=0&trannytype=&tirewidth2=195&tireprofile2=55&wheelsize2=15&tirediameter2=23.44&maxrpm2=8000&finaldrive2=4.7&gearratioa=3.23&gearratiob=1.9&gearratioc=1.36&gearratiod=1.034&gearratioe=0.848&gearratiof=0&trannytype=&tranny=Calculate+Transmission+1+%26+2

I don't mind dropping it down to 4th if I need a quick boost, and the rest of the gears should be nice and lively
-
This is what the m-factory gear calculator works it out as... http://www.teammfactory.com/gearcalcula ... on+1+%26+2 The red lines are the standard S9 ratios and the blue are what I'll end up with

tasty stuff

cool bananas
-
lots longer... longest 5th for b-series boxes. looking forward to not keep trying to change up when I'm already in 5th
-
really reccomend the bosch aero wipers - have always had the sparco ones, but the bosch ones are much better. better made too

got my old arb bolts extracted today and some new ones popped in... the bolts on the other side (that hadn't sheared) were rounded off and probably gonna go pretty soon. the guy had to drill the sheared ones, re-tap them and ended up putting a third bolt in that side! it's great now - it's like when i first got the arb fitted lesson of the tale... don't use bolts from b&q to hold an arb onto your chassis

it would be a crackers mobile the looks of wtf when you smoked someone would keep you warm all winter long!

must admit I thought it was pretty cool
