    You should get a heavy weight shift knob also, the short shifter can be difficult to shift

    I forgot about blox, and yeah I've never really been good with electrical I've been reading up on it in the archives and I found so much different info on it that it just seems confusing seemed like everybody had a different way of doing it or explaining it. I tried finding Irvin's post of it bc he seemed to be able to explain it best but no luck. If somebody could email the diagrams needed or post links here for the diagrams that would help. I have a buddy who does a lot of motor swaps on Hondas and he knows more about repinning ecu's I'm sure he could do it with the right info.

    I use throttle body cleaner, it removes the carbon better than brake clean
