Well, 50+ days since I bought her and 2300 miles later through American landscape, she's home. We started out with 78000, little over 81000 now. Took a detour through Montana, 200 miles of nothing but rocks, hit 145+ mph few times (day 2, day 1 detail testing), super stable, no vibrations, nothing. Visited The Pit Shop yesterday, Honda and Acura pro shop in Libertyville, IL, she's in perfect mechanical shape, few cosmetic blemishes, that's it. She's dirty from trip, pics coming soon. 2003 CL Type S, 6MT, new timing belt and clutch at 72000 miles.

AWESOME! how did it feel when you first got on it?

It felt nothing like my 03 TL Type S. It's just totally different experience with manual trans. TL wasn't slow by any means but 3rd and especially 4th on the auto really drag whereas manual keeps pulling like madman in every gear. I hit 150 once in TL but it took a while and here almost 150 felt effortless (5th near redline).
