Besides the fact the a Honda dealer won't do it they probably wouldn't have a clue how to the proper wiring for the lights. The shop that did my swap said Honda techs are good at doing what they do, but when it comes to swaps and stuff they are clueless.

A Honda tech with a H22 in an Accord was there asking how to convert to external coil. Any swap shop can do this easily, but Honda techs don't have the wiring diagrams or the knowledge to do that kind of stuff.

I'm not saying Honda techs are bad, cause they can change timing belts and clutches much quicker than most, but leave the special work to people with experience.

Do you by chance have, or can you get a parts list.. for every little bitty part that was needed... Im looking at having the swap done very very soon and I need to get the parts together.

Also... how does it feel? just like a stock 5 speed?

Yea I'm tired of having to defend SS owners from the inevitable "why didn't you buy a stick in the first place?" questions. Everyone's got their own situation, so comments like that don't really help anything.

Good job Azninside.
