Your all gonna love this one:

Took it in to Honda. 6 hrs later they called me up literally laughing. Apparently when I took the wires off to clean the ends and swap terminal connectors, I took the starter power wire and attatched it to the negative terminal instead of the positive.

Cost of a new starter: $109  
Cost of new terminal connectors: $6  
Cost of new ground and power wires: $27

Letting Honda tell you you made a newbie mistake: Priceless…well not exactly ($92)
