Not so much that, if he did the G23 swap on his auto, he's going to have a tough time finding an ecu to use.

 

very true, about the ecu part, he is also OBD2 which makes it even more difficult. However the tranny will break, its a autotragic lol.

 

Learn to drive teh stick.Will only benefit you on these scenarios of yours.

 

yea just suck it up and learn how to drive stick, you will have much more fun with the stick than with that auto g23 build. Get a stick car,learn how to drive stick, then think about buildingthe stick car. like everyone here has told you the auto will die if you try to pump noticeable hp + tq gains thru it and u will get laughed at when it does blow up. Not trying to be mean, just hate to see u waste your money and time

 

Don't forget about the water pipe issue as well...

Master, go to a gas station or bookstore and buy this months issue or Import Tuner or Modified Mag, they have a great article on the G23.

One of the mags has a silver Civic hatch and chick on the front and the other has a Hyundai Genesis Coupe...

 

Its really not that difficult to learn how. Butif theres some physical reason (injury?) then we should probably quit buggingyou about it...

 

you cant drive stick? haha i learned on customers cars

 

Didnt learn but I used to hang out with my buddy at the detail shop and they were cleaning a brand new BMW 535i 6spd and I took her onto the freeway hehe

 

well guys halfway good news i guess...ive been watchin youtube like crazy tryna learn how to drive a stick..i pretty much got it now...lemme know if i miss anything because im going off of memory...

p.s.-acting like its a 5spd lx

1. make sure the gear is in neutral and the clutch is down when starting
2.when the car is started leave the clutch down and push down and shift to reverse...let off the clutch slowly while giving it a little gas
3. shift into neutral then the 1st gear
4. let off of the clutch slowly and push the gas down slowly[[pendulum]]
5.when car starts to move graduly let off of the clutch and begin to drive...
6. when coming to a stop sign push down clutch and shift into neutral then press the brake
7. repeat steps 3-5

tht about all i remember...dont know exactly what to do on a hill tho...and yes there is one hill by my house and its damn steep...so yea what do you do on a hill??..

 

Not bad for the steps... usually if its a stop sign I'll just coast with the clutch in and shift to first... none of that fussing around with neutral.

Once you get the hang of driving a manual... hills arent a big deal. But, you can hold the e-brake lever up without locking it while you let the clutch out and give it some gas as the same time. This way you can have you foot off the brake to "load the clutch" and not roll back when you let the e-brake down.
