The vert is definately something that takes some getting used to. Probably because it has an automatic and no ceiling. Luckily it came with a 5 speed and almost everything needed for the swap, except the clutch.

The top is power operated. Where a normal car has it's rear defrost switch the 'Vert has two smaller buttons that make the top go either up or down. The controls for the quarter windows are where the power mirror switches would normally be. And yes, those are the 17'' Spec V wheels.

I posted that I had bought the car over on Nico, and yes they were going crazy over it before, and understandably so- it is a nice car if I do say so myself. The coilovers wil probably go on as soon as I have a day off work, but the 5 speed is going to have to wait. I have everything needed for the swap except the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate, and thats 500 or so dollars that I don't have. I still owe my parents money on this car, so unitl it's paid off the projects are on hold.

awesome man, this car looks alot nicer than your hatch, and i bet you can do some pretty cool stuff with it. hopefully upgrading the car doesnt mean putting off ka-t plans.

lol I have to pay them back. I drained my savings so now I only owe them 1500.

This doesn't put off my KA-T plans, but it does delay them a little bit. Like I said, I can't buy more parts until she's paid off. In a way this changes things for the better, because I am going to do a much cleaner install on this car. I think I'm gonna ditch the SAFC and get a reprogrammed ECU, do everything as cleanly and reliably as possible.

lol its a NEO. I might have somebody local buying it but if not I will let you know. I don't know why but the Vert just feels too classy for a SAFC, plus I dont want to pop and engine with such perfect compression numbers.

Not much, really, except for the screen and the useless (for us) Vtec control. This is the NEO.

There are differences in fuel mapping and stuff like that, but they're minor. you can read about it here.

... that was the reason why I said no to that one... a week later, I got my D1 special edition SAFC II. I dont really want to take it out tho... its like a collectors item.
