New from Ohio

Hi, my name's Chris and I'm from Cincinnati, OH. I have been a long time member of V6P and 6thgenaccord. I joined mainly to further educate myself on the j32a2 + 6spd swap. I plan on doing the MT soon and the motor later. I've only heard good things about this site and its members so I look forward to contributing, but mostly learning. I also joined to try to network and find resources for parts/service, and see where others have gotten their swaps done. I don't live on SoCal so finding a good shop that is both reputable and accomplished is quite difficult. lol

Needless to say, I am currently looking for a 6spd out of a CL-S, TL, or if need be a 7GA.

Yeah I'm at the Honda dealer on Rt.4 all the time. I was looking at Total Performance and Zerolift for doing my swap, but I haven't heard very good things. Do you know of any other places that would know how to do the 6spd swap for my car?

welcome welcome to another V6per

Thanks!

I have a buddy that runs slowmotion up by columbus and they do really good work... Rob up at TPR is a good guy but i havnt had him do any swaps for me i just buy parts there. I ususally do my own work unless its some kind of machining or tuning. Me and a buddy have a garage down here and we do swaps and performance stuff for some of the local kids down here

[RedRyder]

Slowmotion, huh? I'll have to check them out. I'm from Columbus originally so I'm up there several times a year.

So you and your buddy's garage, is it a place you rent or do you just do side jobs out of one of your own garages? Ever done a 6spd swap on a 98-02 AV6?

[k20dreamsi]

We do pretty much anything acura or honda, like wire tucks, brake line tucks, D-B-H-K and J series swaps, suspension and anything else performance wise. We have a buddy that does all our paint and body work for us too. Im kinda new to the j swap stuff still but there is a write up on the web on how to do ur swap and what u will need to do it. So im rather confident i could do it

[maldojuli]

I guess I can make some moree hoods...lol

[k20dreamsi]

sweet let me know how much and if u need anything

[maldojuli]

ok I'll let you know how much... I'm gonna start making them out of fiber glass instead of metal...so I'll get back at you with a price...

[RedRyder]

Nice, sounds like you guys have a good thing going. So your group has not previously swapped a 6spd tranny into a 98-02 AV6?

Btw, I don't mean to be rude, but do you guys mind taking the hood conversation to PM's? Thanks.

[k20dreamsi]

not this specific swap but ive converted my auto civics to manual before which is basically the same

[RMXmitch]

[RedRyder]

Cool. Well maybe I can come by your shop sometime, check out what you've got going on.

[RedRyder]
