Looking forward to seeing you refresh the spyder. 👍🏽 keep posting.

Man the way I handle my cars this thing is good to go. Literally none of that would get fixed. Love your attention to detail!

[@Pstar467]

Good option for your vague shifting feel is to replace the shifter box and cables from a honda dc5s/r. It will require a hybrid racing rwd shifter bracket and an adapter for the shifter box of which can easily be made up. I ran this setup in my k24 swapped spyder and it worked well.

[@IGDesigns]

Very insightful, I’ll look into that, thank you.

[@SweetPappyJones]

The algorithm likes what you’ve done with this video, and so do I! 🤝

[@IGDesigns]

Sound the alarm, it’s happening

[@tabKola]

I have the MAP cable setup that goes behind the transmission and have been pleased with the shifting. You might want to disconnect the cables and see if "bench shifting" the transmissions feels good. You should also mount the ECU to something. I bolted mine to the top of the EVAP cover and it fits below the storage area plastics.

[@IGDesigns]

Good input, thank you.

[@aundrek7515]

Which axle setup did you go with and what are your feelings on the map motor mounts? Quite a few options and am trying to see which route is best.

[@mrs_radrod]

Oh so you’re gonna solve all my problems before I get to them! Wonderful! I’m working on an auto dimming mirror as well as a quality of life improvement.

[@IGDesigns]

Solve is a strong word. More like acknowledge

[@mrs_radrod]

@@IGDesignsI definitely feel the same way. 95% of the problems with my car aren't going to get solved until its running and driving again.

[@evoson5229]

Nice to see you come this far along but I am ready for an update.

[@IGDesigns]

soon

Don't stress about a slightly lean lambda at cruise! Peak efficiency is generally around lambda 1.05/15.44 afr. At cruise loads are low, heat is readily managed and knock is very unlikely- a slightly lean condition here is totally safe. If you want to ensure your cat works well you should target 1/14.7, and ideally have some hysteresis around this range to let the cat cycle properly.

[@IGDesigns]

More great insight. I was going to dive more into this, all I really know is that it is stoich at 14.7 so that's what I was going to target. Going leaner at first glance made me worried since I'm running 12.5:1 compression so I was worried cylinder temps even at low load. I will definitely research more before I go changing anything. Thank you.

Sick shed lift yo

[@IGDesigns]

It’s not about what you have, it’s what the people you know have.

[@timault8209]

Sooo... you are morphing this MR2 into an S2000..? Looking forward to it!

[@IGDesigns]

This actually all started because I couldn't afford an s2000. I have a kinda funny story about doing a pull against one when I got this running.

[@hamsterbrigade]

Make thst SIX viewers!

[@Gage7SLR]

Avidly following.

[@MrPlanecaptain]

Is that the mr2 transmission? Or is it a Honda transmission. Did you use an adapter plate?

[@IGDesigns]

Honda transmission

[@MrPlanecaptain]

@@IGDesigns It lined up, wow! Honda axles? What car did it come out of!

[@IGDesigns]

@@MrPlanecaptain There's custom axles that are offered specifically for this swap.

[@simblorr]

Hey what ever happened to the 2ZZZGE, just stumbled on your head dissembly video which was very helpful

[@IGDesigns]

I had 2 bad ones then went to kswap

[@danielhoard5261]

AC is pretty simple Mine has had AC since 2020ish and think its even easier now.
