Project: KDA (Engine and Auto to Manual Swap)

[SVOboy]

Most of the car is back together, I'm about to mount up the MID in it's (hopefully) final resting place, everything seems goody goody and clean looking. Missing a few random plastic pieces but I'll find them!

OK, interior back in. Now you can entertain the womenfolk properly. Woot!

[SVOboy]

Yeah, it's nearly back together, I just got sick of it, it was annoying, I lucked out with the factory black interior and I can't enjoy it if it's not in there, plus no interior leads me to leaving the car very messy.

Anyway, the MID is mounted where dan has his, I might have to adjust my hand position slightly to always see everything, but it's good, no wiring showing,

Yes, and from the looks of your fuel gauge I would say that you have used .857436874621 gallons, +/- 0.3 gallons. That 70 MPG! Wooot. Ben's first 70 MPG tank! You da man Ben-san.

Haha, the only thing I know right now is that if the odometer is correct the scangauge is underregistering, I'll check it one of these days, one of these days.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me and continued to help, I've learnt and accomplished so much,

My tire diameter is 22.5". yours is 22.7". My odo overregisters by 3.5%. I wouldn't be surprised if yours overregistered also.. Mile marker test is in order.

I'm still confused as to why it would overregister on stock tires, but what do I know, nothing, it seems.

I'll just do a mile marker test next week when school doesn't exist.

Both the CRX and the Del Sol came in different trim levels. Both had trim levels with 13" tires (CRX HF and Del Sol S) and 14" (CRX Si and Del Sol Si). Rather than having different VSS sending units or gauge clusters, they prolly used the same ones. So since the 14" trim levels had the larger tire diameters, the ODO/Speedo was calibrated to those and that made the 13" trim levels over register. This is just my hypothisis. I have no proof whatsoever to verify such hypothisis. Yes, I am willing to admit that I am guessing here.

Who freaking knows, not me.

Anyway, whatev, damn CRX Si, ruining everyone's day with it's y-49 no curse.

[krousdb]

y-49????? I suck.
