its still an automatic, because im selling it pretty much right away im just going to leave it.
so i have this idea that i can make my own custom gauge face. i plan on scanning my gauges and than photo shopping them the way i want. than ill take it to kinkos and see if they can laser print it to a thin piece of plastic (like the old school projectors in school)
ive already messed with a picture i took just to get an idea of what i want.
stock (yes the redline really is pink like that)
after
what ya think?
i figure i can get it printed pretty cheep and if it looks good it will be a nice "ohh thats cool" when i sell it plus light is coming through the black all over the place, it just looks sh***y.

So as anyone who has driven an auto Honda knows the shifter doesn't stop at D. To me this is pretty stupid and annoying as I keep my hand on the shifter and tend to pull on it when I'm going hard into a corner. This morning I did a little modifying to the shifter so it will stop in D.
All I did was cut a small piece of steel and weld it in the 3rd position so I have to press the button to go to 3rd.

The gauges look a lot better but back to the tranny I'm into the jdms I bought the camaro couse I couldn't find a 240sx around here that hadn't been modified yet the manuals tend to carry 1k more value
