    i finished the swap. everything is in good order, except a really annoying rattle that i need to find.... but yeah, its really fun to drive now, no more rubbing transmission or lack of power. i still kill it alot (i learned how to drive after the swap) but its still alot more fun to drive now.

    Im still waiting to get the ECU and the Drivers side axle. Both I have but I dont actually have physically (If that makes any sense.) But as soon as I have them both its going right to the shop.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    Mike you dont need the ECU. Why bother waisting your money on something that you dont need.

    I didn't change my ECU when I did the swap. Car runs just fine!




    P.S. You'll LOVE the 5spd!
