Thanks to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the notification!

This one has a W55 transmission from the manual sedan; also has NAV, limited-slip differential, and heated seats. The car itself is a little rough around the edges, but the swap appears well done.

You may recall: a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that’s been in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! recently sold on there recently for $14,850. It looked shiny and new — probably because half of the car was replaced due to those wrecks, but people bit anyway.

Sooooo do you think these two extreme exceptions on a platform where people pay top dollar to things they never drove gives justification for me throwing unnecessary money at my car or....? Help me out here.

When I have to tell people not to put their feet up/near the dash, they look at me like I’m a total douchewaffle. I then hold up my hand, press my fingertips into it, and let them witness the hilarity. I’m saving their shoes from my car!

I saw a TSX wagon on youtube with a V6/manual/AWD swap. I wish they came like that! The dash in the Acura is awesome, it’s like shark skin or something, no melting!

W55? Oh no baby ! What is you doing?

Yeah it’s the stock 5 speed from the sedan, and it’s a smooth transmission, but it’s so fragile.

My personal favorite is when they L-Tune a wagon, not just use Sport design pieces (basically purple tint lights, different wheels and a muffler)

If the question is, should I manual swap the IS?

The answer is, Yes

If it’s not yours don’t put your feet on it

There’s an airbag there, it will explode your stupid feet

If there’s not an airbag there, you’re going to get mangled even worse in a crash

Sweet baby Jesus people can see you!!!*

*** unless it’s a J body, then it’s par for the course and  you and your tweety bird sweat pants may carry on

i always cringe when i see someone with a dog on their lap as they are driving. Not only are you making it much harder to drive, making it much more likely you crash, you now have a skin bag of blood and guts betwe en you and the airbag, and holy shit, lets hope its not a takata bag.  T hat would really make a mess.
