    It will work but only if it's a compatible GHz. You have to have the updated bi-communicational engine harness from the RSX to use the 5.8GHz heads, it won't work with the OBD2a or B's, even on a b-series. Trust me, I've put both alot of trial & error and R&D into this.

    i don't like the stage three as a daily.. at all... my leg gets wore out in traffic..

    it grabs though...

    and i understand it hurts the value of my car... but if i swap it, and do the tranny... then i'm gonna keep the car untill it's no longer drive able anyways.. and if not i may keep the manual tranny to sell with the car...

    on the hwy movin 80 i could care less about it being a stick.. but i'm most likely moving to north ga and commuting back and forth to atl everyday.. i know what traffic is gonna be like... and i would just get rid of the car, but i basically don't want to. the more i think about getting rid of it the more i want to keep it.. (i wish my mechanic still lived in blue ridge and worked on cars! dude was bad)
