My spouse made a call to P&L Motorsports and this seemed to have lit a new fire regarding progress on the car. They have been taking inventory of the parts they have and on the additional parts they need. Therefore I have had to order a lot of parts recently.
HondaPartsNow.com
1) Tie Rod End, Right
Honda Part No.: 53540-S30-005
Price: $58.59
2) Tie Rod End, Left
Honda Part No.: 53560-S30-005
Price: $58.59
3) Steering Rack, End Set x2
Honda Part No.: 53010-SW5-003
Price: $59.14
Total Price: $118.28
4) VTEC Control Valve Solenoid
Honda Part No.: 15810-PRB-A03
Price: $219.27
5) Filter Assembly, Spool Valve
Honda Part No.: 15815-RAA-A02
Price: $3.72

These were ordered via PayPal due to need to ship to an address different than billing. When this is true but not stated on the payment page, and I therefore have to cancel and resubmit an order it really annoys me. Like at this merchant.

RockAuto.com
1) Denso Alternator
Part no.: DENSO 2100511
Price: $181.89
2) ACDelco Starter
Part no.: ACDELCO 3371034
Price: $135.79
The order through Rock Auto turned into a headache. Apparently they sent me emails that got caught in spam saying a different payment method was needed. I had previously ordered TPMS sensors from them for my Subaru BRZ, Cagalli Yula. Nowhere on Rock Auto's help page does it mention that for shipping to alternate addresses, i.e. not your billing address, that you need to use money order or PayPal, etc. When I asked their support via email I never got a response. (Also, no phone support, because cost savings.)

Amazon.com
1) Denso Alternator
Part no.: DENSO 2100511
Price: $163.15
2) ACDelco Starter
Part no.: ACDELCO 3371034
Price: $144.78
Of course this order is experiencing difficulties as well. The first starter shipped apparently was model number 3371037, so hopefully it will be successful the second time around.
This Amazon order replaces the Rock Auto order above.

eBay.com
1) Fork for Front Shock Absorber - Left and Right
Price: $69.99
2) JDM Honda Prelude BB6 5-lug Brake Conversion Disc Caliper Rotors Arms BB6 Prelude
Price: $650.00
Originally I priced out all these parts for P&L Motorsports to do the 5-lug conversion with all new OEM parts. When I did this a few months ago the parts were still available. Since then some of the key parts, like the knuckle, are listed as discontinued and cannot be bought new.
Instead we are going through eBay and are going to clean rust off the parts and powder coat them. This will probably end up cheaper than the all new parts approach. At the same time, we want the parts to last. Considering how much this project is costing us we want the parts to be in good condition and coated to last.

Part no.: KTD-TSX-AC2
Price: $386.99
I had previously had the K-Tuned RSX Race-Spec Billet Shifter ordered. I knew there were going to be some compatibility issues with the transmission I have but I figured out the shifter differences and sent P&L Motorsports a list of the parts needed to keep the shifter. This was also partially so that I could have wider transmission / shifter compatibility down the road, when we go to do power mods and engine / transmission, as well as I liked some of the Race-Spec shifter features.
Similar to the 5-lug conversion parts above as time went on some of the necessary parts were discontinued. I had delayed ordering because P&L Motorsports had said they were going to order the OEM parts as needed, before. (Apparently at some point this changed...?) And after a lot of back and forth I got tired and just gave in. Some of this stuff has been driving me a little batty. Satisfaction with rate of progress and communication are certainly waning.
But... different shifter now. And different shift cables and bushings, etc.
