That's a sad looking ending. Hopefully no one was hurt between the first and last pictures.

No I was the only one that was involved in wreck I swerved off road to miss a dear. And hit a tree. I miss the car alot. But all is well now.

Also big news my transmission is going to get rebuilt by my brother's friend and I, he has rebuilt several honda transmissions. Its gonna happen in the next two-ish months, might be getting a taller first gear, for better traction, new clutch, maybe a new 2nd gear too. And while thats going on me and my brother will be installing my cams and oil pump and ill be making my header have a 3" collector. So my car will be tore down for a while.

So bad ******* luck today. I got my cmc all hooked up and everything up and noticed my bracket for my hybrid racing intake wasnt there. So I just installed without it. And I guess it was angled too far back. (I dont have a finder liner, it got tore up) and I went to pull out and my intake got crushed broke my velocity stack and my filter was messed up. So I have to order a new filter, velocity stack, and bracket, and finder liner. On top of the fact that the em1 cmc diddnt solve my transmission problem helped a **** ton but its still grinding at redline shift. But I was pretty sure my tranny was having problems and not just my cmc. At least I know its my transmission now and not just my cmc.

Ah shaithy man..... new syncros then? I think @Br3TT has some nice ones... maybe he can recommend something beasty to help fix it permanently.

I was thinking of getting mfactory master rebuild kit, mfactory long first gear, oem second, stock replacement clutch. But im taking all options/advice especially from those with built/rebuild transmission. Thanks in adveance.

Did you have a notchy-ness feeling before?

lol no i just broke my transmission for the 4th time and didn't feel like taking it apart and building it again so i just bought a transmission from synchrotech

 

[13whitesisedan]

Ok I see. Well thanks at least I know it will feel like butter when all done. Now just to save up 2 grand.

 

[Br3TT]

carbon synchros are the way to go for sure

Thanks ill keep you all updated on the path I choose but either way carbon synchros will be on the "to buy list"

Installed my em1 cmc and broke my velocity stack and filter.

Also seen my hybrid racing intake was rubbing on frame and it started to cut into it.

and noticed if you have both hybrid racing cai, and em1 cmc the braided ss line rubs on battery so im getting a fitting tomorrow to fix it.

 

[13whitesisedan]

Bought some stuff this morning.

Grand total of 90.50 I think I didn't do too bad.

 

[13whitesisedan]
