I doubt you would find someone to replace your mounts for free...and your car is already a 5 speed. Just save up some money after you find out what it is. TL's are pretty reliable...I've had mine for about 7 years now and have not had any major problems.

oh, then it should be easy. You dont need to take the dash apart to change that. Just pop out the switch from behind. Let me know if you need help, i can meet up with you before the meet.

like kevin said, if your parents are paying, then have them take care of it..but if you need to shell out some $$, then make sure you either take it to a reliable place (NOT STEALERSHIP!) or someone who actually knows their sh*t.... btw, is the car running at all???

well, decent parts cost $1000 + alignment+ installation. With that, I could improve engine performance rather than looks. As for handling, I got that rear sway bar which does a great job My old Civic was dropped and I hated those numerous drawbacks (eating rubber, bumpy ride, hard ride, hitting bumps etc) but it did look better. TSX can avoid most of those things, but then again, I am not a show man
