How much did you pay for the motor and all. I would love to do that setup as soon as possible. Also anyone know of any good shops near New York that can get things done well.
any reason you decided to put your own lsd in, rather than go with the K tranny that has an lsd?
I'm planning to do track weekends and the aftermarket lsd's like kaaz, cusco, and quaife perform better than the oem lsd. Also, since this car will still see street time, I wanted the gearing in the 02-04 rsx-s tranny. The gears in the type-r tranny are too short. The 02-04 rsx-s has the longest final drive of any of the k-series trannies at 4.389FD. Even with that long FD, I'm still going to be turning about 4k rpms at highway speeds.

understandable. i know what you mean with the short gears. in my 06 type-S, shifting at 3500, im in 4th gear at like 30mph
I'm planning on getting a camera, but we will have to see where that lands in the budget I've got quite a bit more work to do on this thing to get it like I want it. I was hoping to be ready to hit the track by summer, but looks like I will have to wait until Oct and make the annual trip to Road Atlanta.
