The first batch of parts come in tomorrow! It'll be the handbrake assembly, hydraulic lines, and clutch pedal assembly. I'll try to make a DIY with lots of pics (Got myself a Canon SD 450 on clearance at walmart for $150. I love it! ) while I do the mod afternoon/evening.

Goos luck Joe. Please do the DIY 
I know I'll need all the help I can get.
PS: I prefer ovular mufflers so I would lean towards the AV6 magnaflow. That or Apexi or my Tanabe

I was dying for the Apexi's that another AZ member had, but he never got back to me about them. This was a while back. I'll try to go ahead and take detailed pictures.
Here's the first pic at the moment; this is the compressor I bought to make life easier. It came with a kit, air hose, and more.
Also... fsttyms1, one thing i'm worried about is a fuel line that has to be disconnected... where exactly would I be looking for it when it comes to removing the engine?

Look what came in today 
Unfortunately, I have to order nuts and bolts since the pedal don't come with anything.
The Tein basics and a few other items are coming very shortly!

good luck dude, this is going to be tough. fyi, if you have an ace hardware near you, you can find pretty much every bolt there as well as nuts and screws. they are quicker (usu. in stock) and cheaper as well

The Sways will be on their way soon along with a Tein Basic setup (hoping), and everything else are already coming in the mail from the lip kit, clutch set, shifter, cables, etc. I got my compressor and tools on clearance for only $145 so I'm happy with that purchase 
The only thing I'm missing is the Helms manual, I've looked all over and haven't been able to find a retailer with one in stock for the '03 CL-S 6MT. If you do find such a place, it'd be a huge help. Also, anyone that wants my gauge cluster (for the '99) with the complete LED conversion (white + blue) done do it, let me know and I'll give it away to you for a reasonable price. Thanks!
The first batch of pics will come sometime tonight. Wish me luck!

Update: Instead of pictures, I'll just be posting DIY videos instead... normally, although pictures are useful, it'd be better to see actually how it's done... I'll edit it to a 5 min video where the entire handbrake installation is on camera. That'll be up later on tonight or tomorrow.
Other news:
Unfortunately, this stupid bolt snapped which really pissed me off. I just started too.
This is where one of the handbrake's bolts go in.

The first part of the DIY:
Where to place the handbrake
Assembling the Handbrake Assembly
More to come soon. I'll record every step I take to make it easier for the rest of you guys

Just chillen..
Hey, Joe, cant believe it man you doing the conversion, but check this, either get a tripod or somebody else to video tape it for you because the picture will be still and more clear and u can perform your task easier. Other than that, get some lighting too. Good start and good luck!

Sorry for the lighting guys, It was pouring outside so the sun instantly went away.. I'll have to get myself an AC/DC converter, plug it into the cig outlet and turn on a lamp in there for the next few videos. lol

So.. it's 83 degrees outside.. at 10 in the morning.. the conversion continues...
The handbrake lines are connected
The assembly mounted
And out of that entire process I came out with 5 broken metal grinding discs, one broken drill bit. It was titanium too. lol Tonight comes the clutch pedal.
I noticed that for my year (not sure if it applies to anyone else), the bolts used for the bracket assembly of the clutch pedal are the same for the hand brake pedal, I'll try to test fit them and see if it works. That way, rather than going out to buy more bolts, it'd be cheaper for you guys to just reuse the bolts on the assembly already.

Joe, wait wait! if u doing this outside, where do you park the car? I mean is it still driveable ( I dont think so ), and how about if its not? How about atleast go to a storage place and park it there and rent a small room for the tools. This is of course you have a beater to drive. Good luck tho nonetheless.
