Beginning to question my sanity.

To further update on the coilover situation:

All four front CV boots are ripped after a month. Ordering civic coils to use the threaded piece. Lower your iX they said, it'll be fun they said.

Project Standard Transmission Swap was a success!

A bit more time consuming than I anticipated, but went pretty smooth minus the clutch master cylinder pushing fluid past the seal after it was installed. 

A note: I purchased the Condor weighted shift knob and it feels terrible due to how high it sits. Installed an older wood BMW knob I had lying around and it feels 10x better.

The car is a whole different machine with a 5sp!

Have a plethora of parts coming for next weekend. 

Picked up:

Performance:

IE Rear 19mm Sway (with billet mounts and adj endlinks)

Dropped my IM and VC off at the powdercoaters over the weekend as well! Feels good to finally be making some progress on it.
