I’m in the process of swapping in another KA for my '90 hatch and decided that, while the engine was out, it was the perfect opportunity to get some important things done.
I’ve been longing for a 5sp car since I was abouy 12, and now that I’ve actually got the funds to do it (actually, funds come in July 2; PAY DAY!!!).
I’m looking to buy a full 5-speed conversion. Tranny, clutch pedal assembly, clutch master and slave cylinders, tranny cross-member, and non-ABS driveshaft. Basically, everything that I need to convert my piggy.
At the same time when I was pulling my engine, I was cleaning off some rust and found out that it was actually the only thing keeping my steering rack and steering rack hard lines (near the fittings) from leaking…
Now I’m looking for another WORKING and GOOD condition S13 steering rack. I’m not sure if it matters, but mine isn’t HICAS.
If possible, also the hard lines on the left side of the steering rack would be nice. Its not necessary, but if its included, thats good too!
So yeah, to paraphrase: I need a FULL 5-speed conversion for a non-ABS S13, and a steering rack.
I’m located in Ajax by the way, but I don’t mind driving/meeting up half-way.
URGENT: I don’t need the steering rack anymore, but I TERRIBLY NEED the 5speed swap…
My 267,000 km automatic transmission FINALLY died…
It ALMOST took the engine out with it… My KA had a stupid-hard time just idling with it in (D). In ®, it runs fine, but any forward gears, its FSCKED!!!
I DESPERATELY NEED A 5-SPEED SWAP! SOMEONE PLEASE OFFER!
I need to get all the parts before the end of August… I’m moving to Guelph to go to college, and I really need a car… I’m not interested in buying some other car, since it’ll take away my attention on this car…
So PLEASE! I need a swap!
Even if it isn’t a full swap, just as long as you’ve got a relatively low mileage KA, as well as other members offering the remaining parts needed to do the swap, it would be GREATLY appreciated!
I was thinking of doing that at Standard Auto Wreckers closer to home, but with my work schedule, it was just impossible for me to do it… What more Barrie…
Any chance you’d be able to get the parts out of one of the cars (non-ABS) for me? Whats your price?
But yeah, likely, I’m probably going to have to piece this thing together…
What really pisses me off is that BEFORE I bought my car, there were full 5sp swaps left and right in the FS section… AFTER I get the car, only trannies are left… No more full swaps…
