Rep Power: 0 honestly, I'd get a second job and save up for a K20 w/ 6-speed manual tranny. oh, and hawaii's got the hottest chicks. I'll trade you my manual tranny for something deluctable outta Waikiki (hope I spelled that right).

Rep Power: 281 you need manual engine mounts.
the holes are already there so you just bolt the pedal assembly in place.
you dont need a ecu you can use the auto one.
you dont need a dash harness unless you want the sensors on the clutch to work which is no big deal to me so im not using them.
you dont need engine harness unless you want the backup lights to work, or you can wire the lights up to the reverse light sensor on the tranny

Rep Power: 281 just do the d17 and get it over with its a cheap swap and youll stil be stick while saving for the k20 which makes swapping the k20 over alot easier since all the other junk was taking care of

Rep Power: 281 the sensor on the clutch keeps the car from starting if its not pressed in.. so if you dont hook them up you can start the car with out pressing the clutch in..
