if its JDM, it is easier to get a USDM (LHD) harness and change it out, but it can be done with the RHD one, trust me. but it takes a bit of figuring and stretching.

what year is your car, and what year is the motor? also, i put a new water pump and T-belt, along with an exedy stage 1 clutch and a lightened flywheel on mine while it was sitting on the shop floor. i highly recommend that. it will save A LOT of work down the road.

nice, though the GSR LSD is a 2-way. i like the 1.5 for auto-x. but any LSD is better than none. oh, and i think those are JDM, so you may have to stretch those wires a little. theyll fit, you just have to get all of the slack you can.

ya this wont see auto X, strictly for drag. we just got a 924 we plan on doing for the local auto X, checking on the 944 conversions for them.

how do you plan on affording this motor? where are you getting your funds, motors often cost more than just what you see for the swap. i know alot of you honda owners live in dream land and often have unrealistic goals. im from new york as well, ive got a team up here if you have some guys that would like to race. gimme your lineup and maybe we can have some cash races[8D]
