Wow. Thats gonna be expensive. As far as I know you'll need to get a ecu from a manual car along with some of the wiring. ECUs don't come cheap. Good luck.

oh god. I can't possibly roll my eyes back any further in my head. If I see one more "motor swap / RWD conversion" thread I think I may go postal and shoot up a McDonalds.

how expensive do you think. i'm pretty sure theirs a busted up manual trans protege in some junkyard somewhere, matter fact im ganna look

kmaalfiisa December-11th-2004 09:29 PM

maybe this is a bad idea to even think about. im just picturing a nightmare of brakelines transmition fluid, dirt and all kinds of crap. from now on i dont think i will post no threads.
and to roddimus prime i dont need to see smart remarks or nuthing. that causes problems

i agree roddimus, this stuff is like getting OLD. why do people get an econobox and then think that they can make something else out of it. Its not putting you down kmall but what your wanting to do is so impracticlly expensive that its not relly plausible. ps. there is an awd version of the p5 in japan. im almost temted to make my girlfriend buy it for me and bring it back in her suitcase. Mazda is so desperate for sales in my gfs city that theyd probly be happy to make that kind of sale.

kmaalfiisa December-11th-2004 09:36 PM

oh sht really?????????!!!!!!!. man i wish i were you right now. your girl spoiles you.

btw what city in japan that is desperate for sales?

THEGOLDPRO December-11th-2004 09:45 PM

lol this is just a hard ass not worth it job, i did a trans swap on my buddys stang awhile ago, and jesus it was bad, i will NEVER do one again, its not worth it, and yeah the rwd thing just let that vanish from your head, lol

kmaalfiisa December-11th-2004 09:53 PM

i think i need a shrink. goldpro can you take the spot (sarcasm)

Your spelling errors and lack of proper grammar make me want to vomit.

p.s. you also know nothing about cars. Don't act like you do. Your posts make you look like a complete idiot and an automotive newbie. If I were you I'd stay in school and when you get your drivers license (in a few years) start reading books or taking classes about how vehicles work. Maybe then you won't make such outrageous claims as these.

Eh, The kids only 16. Can you get anymore newbie than that? My brother was singin' the same old song about a trans swap 'cause he screwed up his auto...an he's 26 yr old mechanic. Its lame an he never did it. He ended up just getting another auto in there. :rolleyes:

It's not the ignorance that bothers me. It's the ARROGANT ignorance. It's not that he's the first....I just get so tired of people coming on here and doing this:

noob: I've got M4d $$$ yo, I b swapping a 13b TT RWD n2 my 1983 323.

me: You've got to be kidding me. That is like buying a $50 piece of toilet paper.

noob: Y U g0tz 2 playa hate?! I no m0r3 then U ev-R w1ll

me: You're an idiot.

noob: HAHAH U dun no me sucka. Im a masta mechaneque and i gotz a hondUH dat w1ll roa$t jo0.

me: you suck at life. Please quit trying.



it's the same story just different screenname. these little kids come on these forums because they've seen F&F and have a subscription to SCC mag and think they know everything (hence all of the 240 and disco turbo crap).

I just have no patience left for stupidity. My wife says I've become very outwardly hateful. I think I've just reached my breaking point is all.

...Am I going to dignify this with a response? No... but I might check back when I'm bored at work and need some amusement.
