I still want to get headers, im using the stock TL-P manifold and lower pipe and its smaller than the type-s so i know im loosing hp there. I need to find a way to get one of the other headers to fit cause im not spending 1200+ on the manual comptech header

I can't even express any emotions, that's how shocked I am. This conversion better hold up and solve our dreaded tranny issue. lol

Man, i read through 35 pages of posts and I'm speechless. I got a little nervous when you had the problem with the cam gear, but I'm glad you got it working.
The other info you provided along the way also helped me out (as I'm sure a lot of other people as well). The info on the pistons, timing belt, etc was priceless for me. I am about to hit 100k and was starting to wonder about the timing belt and the engine in general, but this kind of puts my mind at ease....
Way to go Kris!!! Have a couple cold ones now

Well i got the seats figured out. I have them hooked up now so that they work. Now for the windows and locks. For some reason the drivers side window switch multiplex is always powered so that the drivers window always goes up and down, and that the switches are always lit. I need to figure that out and i think the locks will be easy.

Well i got the car over this this weekend after installing the header and took the car on a 300 mile road trip. No issues whatso ever. Runs great and is very fast. Way faster than the old tl-p was No issues with header resonance. It will spin the tires going into 3rd and passing is a blast. Now i just need to finish the interior work (if i ever get a chance to stay home and not have to run out of town for work all week)
Ths is the obstacle i had to get over to get the car out of driveway (about a 8 inch lip on each side)
