I can have my Dad take it to his office on Monday and you can pick it up there. His office is right in Worcester near the Grafton line right by Rt-20, Rt-122 inter-change. I can have him leave it with the receptionist so you can swing by any time on Monday and pick it up.

Having driven the car for 2 days. One long ace trip back to CT and around town this morning. I do like the gears.
I will reserve final judgement on them till I get the yellow box installed and seeing what normal life is like with it.
Though from what I can tell............if Honda put this gearing ratio (4.77) on the 1-2-3 gears left 4-5-6 the same rate as they are stock. WHOOOOO MAMA!!! I used to travel around town in 4th but I think I can tool around in 6th.
Taking corners in 2nd gives WAY more grunt to blast through the corner. Very very nice to have that.
As I don't do THAT much highway driving now I think I might be ok with the extra RPM's. And I realized that with these gears I need to keep to about 4,500 rpms without the engine being annoying. At that RPM my speed is about 72-73 mph. Which will definitly keep me out of tickets on the highway.
