ive been searching for the on ebay and have asked on the forums.. this seems to be a hard to find part.. i just need prices from the above list

[Civicman1988]

i got some of that stuff not all of it and i got about 350.00 in parts so far

[civicrider01]

why all that just for a manual? honestly, u are better of selling your ride and buying a stick shift. u will run into problem in the future with the swap and ur car will never be in great condition again.

I know people that have done it and have them done for three years and they have had no problem. If u can prove you will have problems then show us

if you're doing this might as well as put in a k20.

[flipmoderacer02]

^yae, do what another member is doing by doing a k-swap and an auto to manual swap.

[dp_yz713]

a trans swap should cost $1000 at the most. a k is 5 times more than that.......maybe he doesnt have an extra 5 grand to throw around

your best bet is to just go to every junkyard around you and grab parts. i started to look, but gave up and bought new wheels

[jamesandrew58]

im only 17 and cant afford a k20 at the moment.. i just want a stick car.. and no im not gonna sell my car.... the experince of doing it will last for my lifetime
and im not looking to go fast.. i like to do a little autocross and want a stick so i can make use of my powerband

ive been reading up on all things i could search

i just need answers to this
do you really need a manual tranny ECU? do you need the engine harness and dash harness? on this car is it nessecary to cut the floorpan to accomidate the shifter assembly?

and if possible est prices on all the parts ive listed above?

haha yea i dont have much.. as i said earlier im 17 working and not getting more than 400 a month.

i live in hawaii (kauai to be exact) and theres only 1 junkyard here.. i go there weekly to see if theres anything available.. there once was a blue em2 stick there.. but i was only 14 haha and didnt think about doing this yet

and adding to that, since i live in hawaii shipping is gonna be rape.. so might as well make that $1000 estamite to $1500 just for shipping

prices on those are going to vary man. It depends how patient and how good you are in finding these parts. I'v known a guy who got all those parts for 500 bucks.

i've heard you don't really need a manual ECU, but its recommended. Why leave that part out when diong all this other stuff? makes no sense right.

[dp_yz713]

yah shipping is whats giong to hurt you. you can always go kamikazi with another vehicle besides your civic and wreck into a stick civic, and then go to the junkyard and get the parts lol

the reason i ask is if i cant find it i wont have too worry really.. now for the wiring harness.. anything diffrent?

im really patient as i have no intent on starting this until winterbreak (late dec- early jan) because i have school.. i live in hawaii so its like summer year round here HAHA

[Civicman1988]

yes u need a manual ecu

[jamesandrew58]

ok.. do u know anything about the wiring harness

if i buy the revo SS

will it take care of my shifter assembly? all i would need to do if find the nuts and the shift linkage
