Your car already has 116k miles??
Edit, the bezel that your S2000 ignition is in, where can I get that for my EP? Is it a factory blockoff plate?

Yeah although I can have 60 more HP and better MPG's with the A2! I should get a little better mileage with the 6 speed next year though with lower cruising RPM and shorter gears for less load during city driving

Re: SHG is back! Easy's EP3 goes under the knife...
Finally got my computer back up so updates are here!
I started tearing the tranny down to get all the hardware together to go to plating - Started by cleaning the bell housing which had 90k of clutch grime...
.
.
The trans is pretty clean, most of the surface corrsion you see if from the degreaser i used to clean it. Should wipe up pretty nice!
.
.
Here is all the gearbox hardware thats going to plating
.
.
And a bunch of stuff from Honda including all new seals for the case, crush washers, and some brackets that were missing from the new trans. Also got some Honda Genuine PS fluid!
.
.
Ive also been spending time one refreshing all the accessories for the swap in preparation for next year. Got going on the starter last week. Sorry no before pics but this thing was pretty nasty. The whole inside was stuffed with clutch material and corrosion... Got the whole thing disassembled and cleaned then painted the aluminum and steel stator housing:
.
.
Also took the throttle body apart from the A2 to send the hardware out to plating. The cam/spring setup on these things is insanity!

Wow, amazing build man. I just got finished reading the entire thing. I love all the custom work you do. Two quick questions:
Where do you buy your carbon fiber panels and how do you cut them?
Where do you buy your non-OEM allen hardware and dress-up washers?
Thanks in advance.
