Thanks, I’m trying to keep it looking not stock, but the way it _could have/should have_ come from the factory. If I had to pick a style I’m semi-following, it’d be somewhere between JDM and OEM+, but really I’m just building the car the way I like it. It shifts fairly smooth, just really quickly, about as fast as you can lift off the throttle and get back on. It’ll look way better when its not filthy and the black trim is actually black again (plasti dip to the rescue). Also trying to get rid of any and all chrome on the car. Because chrome is for minorities. It’ll be much faster when I replace the tired 2.2L non vtec single cam (130hp/139tq stock without california emissions precat) that is making maybe 105hp with an F23A1 and remove the precat (150hp/152tq). Plus side: It gets 31mpg on the highway. > [@One dead LS1](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/one-dead-ls1/53158/34): > > Did they assure you that they were open? > > Was this guy next door at RST Video? > [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8H7wUKryrw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8H7wUKryrw) We have a winner. It was open, laid out largely the same as it was in the film. And RST video was not there unfortunately. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-failboat/267419)._
