It's really hard to tell what's real and what's not in terms of Honda-Tech rumors. There are too many people riding each other's jocks and generally being retarded to tell definatively

Well you can't order specifically... which is probably the problem. You just don't know what you're gonna get. But I'm assuming they sell 99% manual swaps. So some kid got an auto ECU with his swap and cried about it to the whole board. I would be pissed too, but from what I heard they sent him a manual one as soon as they recieved the auto one back.
Thanks, I'll keep you posted! Tomorrow's the day!

1.) Have no sense of humor
2.) Flame on every n00b and
3.) seem to enjoying forming little cliques of butt-buddies
However it's a really knowledgable place reguardless.

Someone came in the Hybrid forum starting a thread about how horrible Osaka was, but basically admitted he was just restating what other people had told him and that he had never personally had any dealings with them. I hate when people take 3rd person scuttlebutt and rumor and post it as fact. I deleted most of what he posted but left the thread up (I saw it linked in another thread recently). You might consider emailing a link to this thread to Osaka after everything is done, an honorable company deserves support.

My engine arrived at 1:40PM. I took off the shrink wrap to reveal cut wiring galore. The engine itself is in good condition like he said, but I have to re-wire the thing now. I haven't gotten a chance to REALLY inspect it... I'm going to be taking some pictures tonight. I have no idea where to get all the wiring I'm going to need for this engine, but other than the wires, it's lookin pretty good.
Pics comming tonight.
