THE PLAN
Think out side the box ~! my car is AT, the whole chassis is different then MT, all the swap parts on the market now are made for MT fit so most of my swap parts will need to be custom made, like tranny mount, and all the wiring harness. i am not keeping the stock cluster and will be going with RacePak IQ3, we believe it will save us alot of time in turning everything from AT to MT because everything is different. also will be getting the Hybird Racing Universal swap harness to mate with the OEM one. Hasport told me because i have AT...its impossible to do K swap....as again, nothing is impossible !Engine Spec (as of Jan29)
