Hi there.
Im just reaching the final stages of my conversion. ( working out odd little annoying bits ) I am stating this thread to contact anyone else that has done the conversion to make a guide with all the correct info you need in one thread. I didnt have too much trouble finding the info I needed, but it was a chore digging through thread after thread and gathering the info, then finding out what was bullshit etc.
Issues I had
-Exhaust Y pipe does not fit with a T5 gear box fitted. ( use Y pipe off My VP donor car, had to weld on nuts to it for o2 sensors)
-I read that you have to mirror balance your auto flex plate to your 8 bolt pre ECOTEC fly wheel, this is true. but I also read that the ecotec is internally balanced and the fly wheel must be neutral balanced. I can tell you this is most certainly not true!
So what else do people have to add about the VS ECOTEC auto to manual conversion?
