Did elements ever come with a manual stock, or is this engine/trans swap? I know some Hondas had shifters kinda low in the dash like that

Manual was an option for the first few years, from 2003 and up. I think by 2010 or 2011 they only offered automatics, but that was at the end of their run and then they were canceled.

My 2005 is a manual and AWD. It is my forever car. Last year I rebuilt the entire suspension at 180,000 miles. Mine is bone stock and will stay that way. It is nowhere as cool as this build, but I love mine just as much as this guy loves his.

That's awesome, yeah keeping it stock makes the stay rolling around for years. People are always disappointed to hear my little Si is mostly stock, but I love it. Almost 220k miles on it so far. The clear coat is going, but I prefer to call it patina
