I went yesterday to get the trans fluid rear main seal and that grease, and the dealership said they dont sell that grease, and told me to go to autozone. But I got the fluid and seal and thats how I was able to put my car together...... I just need a starter, Intake Manifold (which is on its way, and throttle body.
I hope I can have it running in 2 weeks, money seems to be the issue when I need stuff, but thank goodness I get paid every week.

he said they dont sell it, and they dont use greae on the bearing that its a sealed bearing, when its obvious when you look at it that its not sealed. I did go to the Honda dealer, the Acura dealer is like 60 miles further.

Like,
T L Pee On You... or TL-P ON YOU
two meanings.
AHAHA that'd be great. Someone getting there ass whooped by a TL-P and reading that license plate..
or chasing someone and they're looking in there rearview saying..
TL-P is on me? WTF?
Sorry just ranting. I just thought it was funny and being creative.

See if the state plate censors will pass it- might be considered vulgar
Some places, you have to have a believable story for odd plates- has a space right on the request form.
You can also check for plates already in use on your states dmv site

Yea I know that's why I went this route
Since I am not putting in the Type-S motor, I didn't want to get the CL console anyway, b/c it has that Type-S logo.
I am just going to use that black trim piece around the auto shifter and make the boot go around that. My mom loves sewing and Arts & Crafts and shit so I am going to take the car there once I'm done and see what she can do to make it look good. I kind of want the boot to go around the trim piece b/c of that knockout for the shifter lock release.

Also Dont buy the CL shift knob. Get the New TL shift knob. It will sit slightly lower and looks better.

The short throw shifter doesnt lower the shaft height, just the throw. Get a different shift knob like the TSX or the TL shifter. They sit lower, have the shift pattern on them and feel better in your hand. If you know someone with a welder you can cut about 1" out of the shaft and reweld it to get it lower.
