  1. awesome thanks, cant believe i didnt think of the sonic =/ id still want to drill and slot them myself at least, sounds fun to try lol
  2. No screw, you have to use vise grips and a steady gorilla hand to get it off -.- just pull the old boot over it and push the new on on
  3. I cant find one anywhere :( probably time to fab my own
  4. care to elaborate on your exhaust? that is going to be a project of mine sooner than later
  5. well when you pull off the boot its connected with carpenters staples, couldnt hurt to use those
  6. Alright, so i started with the chopping the shifter as it was just too long lol, if you pull on the base of the boot it just pops. Cut the zip tie and it slides over the shifter Since im chopping it anywho i didnt bother prying off the old knob. At this point its smart to put something to catch the metal chips from going into the shifting mechanisms I just eyeballed a place to cut and it worked great for me. After its cut plop on whatever new knob you got (i ended up having to make a plastic adapter for my knob because it had a 1/2" adapter but these shift rods are .511" or 13mm, hooray for
  7. thanks for the input i was worried about the tranny and clutch but ill board that train when it comes :P Working around these "handicaps" is part of what is going to make this fun and a little different, im going to talk to the parts manager at the dealership tomorrow and see what aftermarket parts they will accept. I cant imagine anything other than the turbo and possibly headers would make enough effect that it voids warrenties, and hell if they do ill just slap on the oem stuff before bringing it in xD Im becoming worried about the oil usage issues ive read about though, would a catch can
  8. Just pull at the base until it pops up then cut the zip tie :P ill be posting some pics tmr from my shortened shifter mod, i dont see why that boot wouldnt fit, however you will need to find a way to mount it to the plastic frame that mounts the bottom of the boot
  9. If your talking raw materials any metal supplier should have some stainless/aluminum tubing, granted you have a tig welder :P if you mean those components your only bet would be online. Im going to be ordering one soon
  10. thanks got the short shifter and half of the sub install done. I swear theres not enough light in one day -.- Ill post up pics tmr - i need to fix the new nob as it wiggles on the shaft lol
  11. Thats why i said goal :P top gear brazil claims 100hp spark with most of those mods, i figure allowing better air flow thru tb and exhaust ports will make it fairly close to 110, granted idk if the stock 84 is bhp or just engine so i could be shooting high hehe. And thanks ill be uploading pics as i work on ot for sure Side note ive just learned of the pcv issue and am a little cautious as to starting any under the hood mods now, any input on that topic?
  12. Thanks! I was not informed of that from the dealer 0.o yea i drove it home off the lot. Now im a bit concerned lol. I had no problems with my 2013 spark up until the crash of course
  13. 2 years ago when i got my first spark (before i knew the difference between a lower control arm and a camshaft) i had a desire to turn it in to a race spark. Present day and many, many, many days of building, tearing down, rebuilding, tuning, breaking, and rebuilding again of my little honda i decided to start making that a goal. Im an inline 4 guy and theres just something about making toy sized commuters into decent performance vehicles that i love. The old spark met its demise and i currently have a 2014 silver 1LS manual that im going to start working on. I have a goal of 110hp N/A and an
  14. Hey all, just got my SECOND spark yesterday. The first one got well acquainted with physics and had to be put down :'( and close to two years later i decided i wanted another one. I have the 2014 1LS Manual in silver, same as the first. Decided to look around for a good forum as i have some over the top plans for this poor unsuspecting spark and thought i could share any knowledge i gain along the way Regards
