Well guys, I finally have enough saved to purchase all of the parts required for a CD009 swap... but I have decided that I don't think I am going to do it. I think I am just going to drive the car on stock drivetrain and if the trans eats itself then I will spend the $600 on a used trans and replace it. I have done ALOT of research on the CD009 swap and it just seems like no one that does it is happy with it unless they are purely drag racing the car. I finally found a video on the CD009 driving where I could hear the trans and god it sounded awful, and I know with my OCD it will annoy me so much to have a loud trans like that. In fact, I installed things in my S2000 to help with noise so I refuse to make it even mechanically louder. So, with how depressing it is to realize that my car is done because I refuse to do another built motor car and I cannot justify wasting 10k on a bulletproof driveline when I could save that money towards my next project. BUT the good news is I will still probably have to the car for another 3-5years as I save some cash up for my big purchase. Just figured I would share this bittersweet news, as I have shared the majority of the build process on here as well.
