Modding Auto EK
issue 1 is that i kno that it doesnt shift like a manual but i heard it is possible. would a vtec controller or hondata allow me to change my gear timers so they change at higher rpm's? or can anything help that, price?
my engine bay is kinda dirty (i know its kinda impossible to clean up the wires), but my valve cover is what gets to me. it looks like it got wet a few times. (I WILL POST A PIC BETWEEN TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON), would i be able to sand and polish it?
by any chance if any1 else on this forum has a modded auto and can give me pointers then PM me or IM me at: Dyce590

Not to get off subject, but i had the same thing, my parents payed for more than half, and didnt want me driving a stick when i first started driving, and i regret it more than you will ever know... thats why i convinced them that im doing an auto to manual conversion, and i told them i was paying for all of it and doing the labor myself, and they pretty much agreed. Plus my dad knew where i was coming from, said he was the same way as a kid. I just dont see why you would want it to shift at higher rpms, you might as well just step on the go pedal really really hard...
go import auto salvage! (if you get the urge to swap the auto for a 5-spd)
