keep it lookin tlp, like rims n what not, and now ur the only one that deserves the type s badge...

 

Yep. i think im going to keep the badge off the back though

 

on your work Kris I have done a auto to 5sp swap on my integra the swap was easy but the wiring is a pain in the butt. I am planing to do the swap on my tl also just waiting for you to finish your project and find out what I need. Too bad you live too far or other wise I will help you. It looks fun

 

Well its at the dealer patiently waiting for them to open in the am. I ran into some electircal issues ill need to work out when i get it back. The drivers window switch works with the key turned to the off position, but the other windows dont work. As soon as the key is turned to the run position the other windows work. The door locks arent working the way they should (i think its a lack of having all the wires hooked up. the window switch is bugging me. The blinkers work, the hazzard button doesnt. all things i need to work out another day. Cross the fingers it starts tomorrow

 

niiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccceeeee....you should put the type s sticker on the car is people think you are a ricer

 

you have a multi meter?

 

what was the dealers reaction to the new TLP/S 6speed?

 

Are you doing all this electrical work without one? Go to wally world (walmart for those of you not in the south) and pick one up for 15 bucks. When I left mine at a work site and I needed one, I just picked up a cheap one at wally world and used it. It was accurate enough, you can at least tell if you are opened, shorted or have DC voltage.

 

Oh i have one I need to find some one willing to test out a few spots on the fuse panel for me

 

Forgot to tell you that i added the parking brake yesterday too. The CL hand brake pretty much bolted right in.

 

That saved you some time...So I guess the actuator idea is out the window?

 

Tell that dealer to hurry up! I'm getting impatient down here!

 

Where did you mount it? any pics?

 

None of my TLP window switches work when the key turns to off position. Unless I just shutoff the car, then the window switches continue to work for a minute or so... then they stop working

 

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats!

 

Did the dealer say anything about the car?

 

WOOOOOOOOOT!

 

They thouhgt it was cool as hell (and it was only the honda dealer. The acura dealer is a hr 30 min minimum drive)

 

Any plans to take it to the Acura dealer? I'd bet Acura would be interested in it, maybe even get written up in the Acura owners magazine. Heck, Acura might even decide to give you a brand new manual TL!

 

Next time im in that area with the car ill make a appt for something to let them wonder Whisky Tango Foxtrot

 

That's be great to stand there and watch the mechanic as he gets in your car to bring it in the garage.

 

 

Anxious to see.

 

Ill try to get some more recent pics up tonight

 

it seems like years since this started and even I'M starting to get anxious. but congrats

 

Yea tell me about it

 

For you to get this far on a project of this size in only around 3 months is nothing short of amazing, considering that you are only working on it part time. You really are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!

 

It's ALIVE!!!!

Great, now I can't get up from my desk because of the massive hard-on I get thinking about a 6 speed TL-S.

 

how is the paint holding up after 200K miles?

 

Great





No i need a code scanner so i can star0 to diagnose this baby. Right now for some reason it doesnt want to go above 2k rpm with out a revlimiter kicking in

 

Congrats man, can't wait to see pics, you and your car are awesome!

 

cool kris.....I know you said you tried it wouldnt rev pass 2k however did you try to move the car or drive it out your garage? congrats on the progress so far. did you need me to send you my scanner or are you going to buy one?

 

Getting it running is a BIG step forward... but now you get to tackle of those little details

 

truly impressive...can't wait to see some more pics. congrats, man

 

1 word awesome, this means you should have it up and runnign by the end of next week?

 

That is awesome.... Do you think it may be one of the new sensors you put in? Sounds like a limp home mode of the ECU. How much did honda charge you Kris?

 

Massive? My, aren't we modest. I hope you didn't put a dent in your desk.

 

good job

 

Now dont go crazy with that six speed and the TL-S motor, I have heard its a deadly combo .
