Backlash should be .008 to .010. Break is for the first 500 is a good idea. Basicly, just drive the car like you did when you broke the car in. No clutch dumps, etc. I break mine in on the commute to work. I just drive.

no reinforced diff. no plans for FI. thanks, Strato. the shop (ramjet) insists that they dont need any additional parts to install cuz the car has low miles(22k), but i bet we're gonna run into trouble tmrw.

driving easy means no vtec, right?

How much $$ for the install and how much for the gears?

I am considering this.

So you didn't buy the OEM parts kit? Please update to let us know if thats really required or not

did NOT get the oem install kit. however, the installer (who is asking 250 for install and takes a whole day) says that he would need the parts if the car had more miles on it.
