Incredibly detailed write up - I can't understand all (most) of it but it is good to see pictures for the mechanically inept.

Thanks Alan. I'm having a blast assembling this whole thing. Something about the pride and gratification of doing this yourself.
I'm glad that little zapper thing finally arrived. I sent it Aug 6th, so it must have taken the scenic route!? Sorry it took so long. I continue to hope your hand regains its dexterity and functionality.
Cheers,
Ken

Mac, you might want to split the first post. I know it's not as neat but you have a lot of pictures in one post and you have to wait for all of them to load to get to the new ones.
As for the build, some job

Hard to work out the latest updates using that method too, sorry! Great record though, keep it up however you choose to do it.

Re: DIY Elise S1 Conversion: Acura TSX K24
While I appreciate your thoughts on all the info in the first post, I (along with many) dislike trying to read about a build with pages of unrelated and/or side bar comments. For most it's convenient to have it all together, but I understand having to scroll to the update is mildly annoying, but not painful. For first readers.... It's great. I mainly started doing this because on other forums, threads are hijacked by undesirable and combative members.
While SE is not that way, I simply cut & paste this on 6 forums, so they're all the same. Actually, I've had quite a few indicate they liked it. They got the meat without the brussell sprouts.

A blog is a nice way to string it all together too, of course. And you can just post to the forums when the blog has had an update.
Anyway, concentrate on getting your build right, the biog of it all is clearly secondary

I am becoming addicted to conversion threads.
Please stop posting, I have other things to do with my life that you are tearing me away from with these fascinating stories.

Somehow... I can truly relate to your comments. For me, it started about a year and a half ago. 
Definitely a slippery slope.
