Yea I know, I just wish that the 4G69 had as strong a following as the 4G63, I mean there are 100x more aftermarket parts out there.. Plus tranny's are more readily available. I know most of my transmission related problems are due to my driving style and the fact that the work clutch just didn't sit well with the stock tranny. O well I'm glad that I found a decent replacement

Yep, I didn't get home till 3:45 this morning picking it up. Left at 10pm cause I had to wait for my dad's minivan. I bought the full turbo back exhaust and the 720 denso injectors off him for 450 cash. The injectors are for Tak, he's running them on his new setup.

The VR4/dsm world is totally new to me, though its nice to know there is much more of a following out there, and parts are purchasable. Thanks for the offer, I'm sure with my lacking knowledge I'll be in contact soon enough. Right now the car is on a non-eprom ecu so I need to get an eprom'ed one or another unit so that I can learn how to tune it with the setup it'll be coming with. Honestly it comes with a bunch of parts put together but it'll run for now, I'm just talking long term projects.

Yea he's definitely covering, though he thinks a bearing went in the tranny so if that's the case I'll probably have to pay for the parts but probably not the labor.

Vegas - you need to go this weekend. You never know if the ice thickness is going to change or not in the coming weeks. No one wants to steal your Acura anyways.

hmm... Very tempting, I can wait. I mean teh car will run fine on teh setup its on right now, however I just need to keep the boost down. No need for 300hp in the winter anyways.

And yes I'm at work, I have had 4 coffees w/ creme and sugar, 2 teas and 1 helping of double cheeseburger from McD's... I'm wired.

The sad thing is I work for Bosch and I can't even get a discount on their O2 sensors...
