So, a few parts have been trickling in to keep the project moving. I actually got the Spoon sway bar installed already and it crazy how large it is in comparison to stock. I will post picks of it installed soon. I also had time to work on some of the cosmetic issues on the motor and transmission. There appeared to be a small leak around the perimeter of the transmission case. In order to fix this I needed to separate the case and use Honda Bond to seal the case again. This turned out to be a huge pain. While this was being taken apart, I took the time to change out the shifter mechanism return spring to the MTEC race springs. This was pretty simple compared to separating the case. I finally got everything sealed back up after a few late nights.
Meanwhile, I received parts from Acura, which is mostly small hardware or hoses because the old ones were pretty grubby. I will follow up with photos of these once installed. I also received the throttle body I will be using, which is the 2011 ZDX TB. My engine did not come with a drive by wire throttle body so it gave me the opportunity to upgrade to the largest OEM option.
I should get some more work done in the next few days so I should have more progress. A lot of parts are still on backorder but I still have plenty of work with minor change to the chassis and always more cleanup n the engine and trans.
