What kinds of headers are you using?? Did you end up going with the DC's and modifying the rear engine mount bracket??? Or are you on the stock headers right now??? I think I am going to have my ass handed to me when you come down here!!!

I'm just a reject from the TSX forums, and a recent (< 1 month) TSX 6MT buyer, but I have to say that this rules. That's amazing. I would never do that, but that's because I couldn't. You, sir, are the man. Congrats, and I can't wait to see the final pics.

Carpet and seats go in tomorrow for the final touches. If you guys are lucky ill post pics tomorrow when its done.
The only things that wont work any more from this project are as follows (and mostly to me not wanting to spend the money)
Air bags (they changed over the control module at some point and its wired differently)
ABS-- (for sissies) that and the abs pump on the cl-s is for just abs, and not abs/tcs
and moonroof (which at some point this winter im going to remove and weld shut for additional headrom)

Nice job, but this is more like a custom work. I don't know if any shop is willing to convert AT to MT like what you are doing. I will be the first in line at your house for this work.

Wow... the other stuff is really minor...
The interior looks great... just like a CL 6spd, except for the color and the not perferated leather on the steering wheel...
Good luck on the shakedown trip...
I like it alot too...
