I just painted my tranny silver. Not that I know what I'm talking about, but the tranny was apart, WHOOPIE! I got to see what it look like first hand, and I got to see how everything comes together. It went back together no problem, what is it...like 12 bolts to reconnect it to the bell housing? Christ, a child could put it back together, and for the record this IS a project car, nothing more, nothing less. I plan on turning it into a 12 second contour just for sh*ts and giggles at some point. My buddy is designing a new plenom to accept a twin screw supercharger. So I have to cut a hole in the hood, big deal, like Tricker said, to me, this thing is just a toy...and my choice of colors was just for a joke to all those Honda boys who live around here who think VTEC is hott sh*t, its not. This is just to prove that if you put the time and money into an American car, it will out run any import. There is no replacement for displacement. VTEC or not, all i care is that I can take an S2000 or a brandy new Civic SI (I did that with the 2.5), and nothing brings me more joy then seeing the face of a Honda kid who just got smoked by a CONTOUR... Not to mention, once that plenom is ready and tested, the car will be getting a whole new motor. I plan on being the first to implement DAMB heads, and maybe even do an ECU swap to incorporate VCT. I have big plans for this car...this project is just to occupy my time. I work on this thing MAYBE once a week. If I actually took the time and stuck with it, this car would have been back on the road in November. I am a N00B at this, but everyone was once a N00B, you have to start somewhere. I would much rather build something with potential, and by something I mean the Contour, then some POS Honda. Because having an 11 second Honda is just like coming out of the closet, sure you impress a lot of people, but in the end...you are still gay.
