Time for some tough-love my friend. Read the following very carefully.

That is a terrific idea.
You should make one.
Do you know what I knew about suspensions before I wrote The Suspension Thread? Absolutely nothing. I did not know if we had struts or shocks.

It prints out at over 80 pages. It's posted on four (4) different forums that I know of (all with my permission) and in two (2) different languages. On just two (2) of the websites it has been hit right at 100,000 times. Currently 33,804 times on this forum, and 66,176 times on sr20forum dot com. Which kind of freaks me out.
You know how I put that monstrous Suspension Thread together? Re-SEARCH.
Do you know how much I knew about
how to Search? Nothing. Never used a search engine on a forum before in my life.

im not good with locating things by searching ill be the first to admit it and i do better if i ask the questions instead of searching and finding a wrong answer and going by that wrong answer.
but with the motor stuff ill do my research. but with trannys i just couldnt research that cause im so clueless. and there probaby real simple too.
This my new friend, is
unacceptable. It is a bunch of excuses. It is lazy. It is flat-out
against the rules on every single car forum I have ever visited or joined.
A few years back, before I mellowed, I would have flamed you to living crisp over that last paragraph. Charcoaled your young ass to a cinder. Flamed you until the thread was closed. You would have hated me. If you don't believe that, search sr20forum dot com. I was extremely nasty, impatient, and fucked with lazy non-searching newbs to entertain myself. Further, the Forum Rules supported my position. It caused all kinds of drama.
If every single newb, like yourself, took that attitude you show, we would all be fucked. There would be so many threads about the same subjects, with the same answers, from the same guys, that those that provide answers would get very,
very sick of answering. The newbs that needed answers would not get them, nor would they Search for themselves. And when someone did search they would have 1-bazillion un-researched threads to comb through to find the answers.
You have been granted an unofficial grace-period, and helped tremendously in this thread. I have been a huge help to you, and am very glad that you appreciate it.
However, this is NOT the norm, NOT going to continue, and you need to
learn how to Search and find your own answers. Period.
FIRST you do the re-Search, if you are still unsure of the answers, THEN you make a new thread to clarify things. So you don't make mistakes.
DO NOT get your back up about what I just typed. DO NOT argue with me about it. DO NOT protest. Take what I just typed as motherfucking Gospel From Heaven and continue to wisely follow my advice, which means
learning how to SEARCH.
This should help:
Search tips from HJBarker & crew - SR20 Forum
I'm even being helpful as I straighten out your lazy-ass thinking process. Which will help you tremendously in the long run.
My therapist would be so proud.

Zero labor. Free labor. Just the parts cost. His uncles tranny mechanic will do the labor for free.
Does that change your answer Mr. Ashton?
Don't get me wrong, I hate the B13/14 trannies. However, for the cost of the parts alone, it might be worth it if someone (like our new friend) is on a strict budget.
