    It lives

    Well it actually lives now. Tranny and engine and all are working well...I only have a slight overheating problem at a stand still because my fan isn't working. And a brake booster leak. But for the most part...it's driveable and man have I been driving it. Video and stuff to follow...here is all I have for now. It REALLY needs a nice cleaning and detailing...plus there are some things that need to be cleaned up and made nicer looking as well.

        Sweet, did you do the install yourself?

              Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way.

                You are going to love it. I would have installed it myself on my old red car, but when i saw the white car and the price i paid for it, i couldnt pass it up. Congrats man! Catching mean a 3rd gear is fun, especialy after roasting them down in first, then a sick second.

                DONT SPEED! its hard not to, haha.

                        I know the general info, I was just asking him because he had a few problems that he had to overcome. Sometimes when the swap is still fresh in peoples minds can help out those who are going to do it in the future.

                        I'm gonna do a full writeup.

                              I guess the car was an IS before, but I know there has to be some differeces in the swap between models and it would be nice to know before you took your car out of comission for a while. Is what I think he was trying to say.
