My first reply was not meant for this thread. I am excited about getting my gears in though and will give my opinion of them when they are installed.

UPDATE: drove 2 hours in traffic today. it still sucked a$$, but it was MUCH easier to do stop and go than stock becuase 1st was very easy to engage.

i also began to notice there is some mechanical whine at some higher speeds, but it isn't bad at all. almost sounds like a turbo whine

overall, the driving experience is much nicer. the car feels more tame/smooth in a good way, lighter, faster, easier to drive, the steering even feels easier (prob in my head). love the mod and have yet to vtec it, although i still don't understand why a break in is needed.

I'm waiting myself for a set to install -- Jeff, James, and I wanted to cover all the per-orders first before we put the gears in our own cars.

Yellow Box is the original made by Black Robotics. Adjust speed/distance up and down is guaranteed for life, free replacement if it fails.

first, I'd like to say thanks to Wisconsin, who doesn't know me at all, but spread the word about the gears with his videos, etc.
thanks.
