I am in the process of a motor swap from LX to EX and I was looking to see if anyone had an EX MT ECU for sale, if I cannot find it, I will be forced to try the vafc alternative, but I would much prefer the ECU, please let me know ASAP

Looks like they're runnin about $50 around your area: http://www.car-part.com/

^ Carparts.com is a good place to get used parts. Plus you can find parts you need in your area and if not then they can ship them. I have dealt with that site a couple times.
