    Still going strong though. I can appreciate that. Keep up the great work man.

    ok just read some stuff that might cause me some problems. i didnt realize that the awd's have a intermediate shaft. i do not have one so will my reg dx axles work til i get an intermediate shaft? which one can i use?

  • turbo_tegturbo_teg Council Member
    i thought d-series staters were the same from 88-00....
  • FreekFreek Wagonist
    ithought so to but i guess not cause it will not fit
  • mgcookmgcook Band Wagon
    I believe you have to use the starter that is matched with the tranny, not the engine.
  • FreekFreek Wagonist
    update: i had to use a newer starter the old dx one would not clear for some reason. threw one on from a 95 dx worked perfect.

    as of now everything is mounted up axles in. got the intermediate from arkansas. still have driveshaft to mount.still have to run vtec. do i have use a 4 wire o2? trying to find a good diagram for wiring vtec but haventseen one yet.
