Manual shift trim conversion...

Dont know if this is the right place, but i havent seen many members rides that did the automatic shifter/manual trim DIY conversion. Got my kit and just put it in. Hardest part was dealing with the blaring heat outside. Not quite sure if this is the right place for the thread, but general ramblings seemed like a good place to post so a lot of people could see this. I also dont know how to link to my ride, so just do a quick search for my car, its the last 2 pics. Again, sorry if this is the wrong place, but i just wanted to let anyone who was thinking of this and not sure that I just did it and can look up my name instead of hunting around the member rides trying to find ANYONE whos done this (not many from what ive seen) Hope someone/anyone finds this useful. And if anyone has any ???? just feel free to ask me, i have the same s/n at AIM.

Here is the link to your ride: OmegaBlue2K1's Ride. The job you did was great, and it kind of reminds me of the "you might be rice if...you put your car in neutral at stoplights so you will roll back and little and make people think you have a manual transmission." But, hey it looks great.

Ok, I got the parts you need to do the trim conversion from a member of our own site here, Hondawerx.com hell sell it for 35 bucks shipped, jsut e-mail and request it. Yea, and any aftermarket auto shift **** will do the job. And also to clarifiy, i have to stand behind the idea that this particular "mod" cannot fall subject to "rice" slamming. Seriously, if you go out and look around, there are a LOT of automatic vehicles that come stock with a shift boot. I just wanted to give my car a bit more personality from the crowd, and I am intending on performing another DIY to add the gear tower symbols back into the center console, similar to the way a corvette c5 is set up if anyone knows what that looks like. Also, I will probably be swapping to something a bit more "show" as far as the shifter goes, I got a deal on the ichibahn one and had to pick it up.

thats pretty damn good.., i guess i just buy the trim ring and the boot and it should just "plug" all into place.. cool.. thats my next mod.. i really like the look and also i hate having crap, dust, dirt, liquids fall into that lil shifter area.. and one time i even drop that plastic clip peice (the peice that covers the key hole insert) into the shifter thing.. so i had to take the whole thing apart to get it out!!.. erR very annoying.... the boot will solve all my problems [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Got the 17's with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 205/40/17ZR tires for 800 bucks plus shipping used. I coulda got them new but i really didnt want to spend the extra 300 bucks after all teh retail shipping charges and stuff.

I like having the shift **** button, getting a push down shift **** would make it look more like a stick, and then yes, everyone here would be allowed to pass the soy sauce my way....

Thanks, Im currently in teh process of singling out teh exact lowering style/kit i want to get, i know being a sedan goin too lows going to just rice it out, so im lookin to go 1.4 or 1.8 inch springs so i can roll on stock shocks and struts, otherwise ill jsut save up for a few extra weeks and get a full suspension kit. As far as the strut bar, eBay baby, all teh way.... I more or less have it there for looks, but i can tell that my car likes to stay tighter around onramp turns at higher speeds, and my car does tend to stay planted more when i take tight turns, almost start to get a drifting feeling sometimes when i hit a turn right. Thank god i have automatic, I would mess my car up having to think that much taking turns the way i do.

Do you have some point your trying to prove or are you just venting because you cant compensate for having no ***** by driving around a car with more horsepower then you have brain cells? If you havent noticed there is a flaming policy now. And besides, what exactly are you asking about the whole 3rd gear crap??? You should go back to school and get somthing more than a 4th grade education before you consider posting anymore on this site, or jsut stop altogether if all your here to do is try and prove you think that our cars are pathetic (note: you drive one too if your not too stupid to realize that), Im sure there are a lot of people that are more willing than me to speak up against you. Perhaps you should go trade in your civic if you hate it so much and go buy yourself a domestic pos ford focus? Go find a focus site and flame civics all you want there.

Looks pretty nice OmegaBlue. I also got it from Greg for 35 shipped. How did you take off your silver gear box...I see that you took it off with the black plastic bezel. Also, did you take anything off too? did you pry it off? Greg gave me ur SN...I'll be talkin wit u soon.. Im puttin mine on soon as soon as you can tell me...Thanks!
And don't worry about LikeWEEEEEEEEEE, he's jus too stupid to understand that a shift boot can make a car look nice. My gear box is all scratched up and it looks bad... I think by puttin on the boot it will look cleaner. I have so much crap stuck to that silver gear box its not even funny, I can barely see the D.

I guess that would be a sweet mod for the people with automatics. I have a manual so I wouldn't know how cool that really is. My sister's is an auto....but that don't matter. But thanks for taking a pic of your TCS!!! Only good pic of it really...

ya know i hear the same crap from rice kiddies...your stupid...you have no *****. the point im trying to prove is people like you need to stop immitating. do you do rollbacks on a hill with an auto too?

ps - let me explain something to you. i have an iq greater than 130. i went to a first tier college (left cause i didnt like the fraternity scene, going to find a non-frat college). i have a 7" *****. ladies call me hung considering im only 5'8" tall. one girl complained of her neck being really sore after a night of some deep throat action. i might be small, but this afternoon another ricer like you thought he could mess with me...pulled up next to me and started all this crap about how he could beat me up and demanded that i get out of the car for a fight. upon seeing me get out of the car and walk up he quickly left. pretty funny considering it was on rt. 118 and i was parked in the middle of the road.

hehe its a nice mod, I dont think its ricey caus eyou didnt do it to make people think you have a stick and likeWHEEEE is a moron, who talks about performance and drives a civic thats almost stock. Its not my style cause I think it looks old school I like the look of the new automatics, The C5 looks alright with the auto boot but that shift **** is kinda weird.

WTF is this BS? I think this thread is old because I followed a link to it, but this guy is always full of shiet. He always calls everyone ricer, but go look at his garbage in the members rides. This loser really needs to get a life. What a freakin nerd. Only a nerd would need to sit here and tell us how hung he is, or how he's gonna kick someone's ***. Come down to vegas, Nellis AirForce Base, and I'll show you what an *** beatin would look like. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

you dont like it because its not all flashy? sorry i dont try to hide the fact that most real cars can walk all over ours. the rest of the **** i said was to prove the ricer wrong. not saying im big and strong lol...actally saying that most little teenagers dont expect the guy they are pressing to actually get out of the car.
thanks i got a life, and dont take out your ***** envy on me

ok, there is no need to turn everything into an arguement and be a jerk. there are certain people on this site who are jerks and will do anything to pick a fight and they should just be ignored because they will resort to talking about the size of there ***** and sexual activities.

but anyway, about the DIY. i drive a manual and i like the look of the boot on the auto, cept the shift **** does look a bit long for it.

Yea, this shift **** does look kinda long in teh pics, but it looks good in person, its almost teh same color as my car. Im not too big on getting anything that will fit shorter on teh shifter, like i said before im not really trying to make it "look" like a manual and the only short shift ***** i can find are the push down type r ones that just look like *** anyways.

Oh and to "likesweenies" how about you actually go ahead and post a legitimate description of what is "rice" and what is not, not just what YOU think is rice? Instead of just using your meek intelligence to slam on everyone else when you drive the same car as the rest of us. Give us all a reason not to assume you are a moron for calling us ricers because of the things we have done to our cars.

i would explain to you what IS rice, but there are descriptions all over the internet. trying to make your car something its not falls into the list of what is. enough arguing though, you or one of your buddies ran to the cops (moderators) like a narc and complained that his little feelings were hurt when someone dumped on his "mad tyte" ride.
