Thanks
Yeah, not enough hours in the daytime so you gotta do what you gotta do i guess 
YOU cant wait? Shoot...I CANT WAIT LOL! Mor and/or myself will work on the TSX/phillips retro thursday...oh, and thanks for the pic...ill go to that do it center to pick up those covers.
As for now, I got the flywheel back from the shop. It looks good...no need for a new one (phew) so Ill be installing it along with the ACT TS3-XTMM kit day after tomorrow, throw the tranny on, and if all goes well, throw the motor in too.
Only thing im worried about is the front main seal and the cam seals. I didnt use grease as per the service manual to put them on, but I did take my time and work it without putting extra stress on the seals. We shall see I guess.
Ill keep you guys updated with some more pics tomorrow when I take them.

ECU is going to be stock for now untill I get the car up and running. After a couple months or so, Ill be doing a Borg Warner 67mm setup on either AEM or some decent piggyback if one exists. Either way, should be fun.
