I have been poking around 3geez for a while now. You guys have all done some inspiring work. I think it is time for me to post a build thread of my own. I am doing this all from scratch with almost no budget. But I do not plan on going cheap by any means. It just takes time to get the money, yknow?
Anyway, at this point, I have already pulled apart my 87 1HG doner car and right now, I am focused on doing a tranny build and a manual conversion on my 86 JHM.
I need to fill in the blanks on my performance checklist. I am looking for the highest quality parts I can get. I don't care if they have to be custom built but I would prefer to avoid that if I can. I'm hoping I can get good advice from the Honda masters out there.
I need:
Seals and Bearings
Synchros
Flywheel
Clutch pack
Short throw
Bushings
And anything else I am forgetting
I also want to seal the clutch compartment with a custom gasket/plate so nothing can get inside.
I have a buddy with a prelude he might give me, but I'm not sure I want to swap gears because I plan on making more power in the future. If anything, I might rob the automatic or just make a custom set so I can get a higher top speed. I hate pulling 4k rpms just to maintain 75mph on the interstate.
Anything you guys can help me with will be greatly appreciated.
