CONGRATS on your new purchasE!! I did something similar, drove 600 miles (RT) to p/u my MT TRP and couldn't be happier. I will be adding that 6th cog over the next year for added MPG, but, everything else (we're NOT talking good mods, here, that will continue to happen) will remain as Honda built it........I just flew from New Orleans to Salt Lake City, picked up my 07 AWD MT, and drove over 1800 miles home!
