Going to pick up these mounts for my FullRace half radiator. Innovative mounts move to much on the traction bar.

Driving along the busiest highways in North America this morning, all of a sudden loss of power and dash lights came on ! So I cruised off the highway and onto the onramp to see what was up.
I found a broken msd ignition coil wire ! DAMMIT ! So with no tools on me whatsoever, I managed to stick the wire back in and try to start the car ! Luckily it started !! So I drove off trying to find a mechanic shop nearby all while the engine was misfiring like crazy ! Finally found a shop where they gave me a clip and crimping tool to use so I repaired it. Back to normal !

Looks like the black cable protector needs to be cut back an inch or so to relieve the strain on where the wire meets the connectors. You can see the funny angles the wires are sticking out of the connectors at.

Did the Left hand gauge pod ever come to fruition?

If you get it going I would order it and a single radiator bushing at the same time.

i have a quick question. i have a 91 si hatch with usdm zc sohc and it came from factory with an automatic. i am now having issued with the h4 tranny. ca anyone refer me to thread that would include the parts i need to do the manual conversion. i know i need a couple certain parts.
-manual throttle body (wich i have)
-manual trans (wich i have)
-trans linkage (i also have)
i guess my true question is wether i need to change the ecu for the standard one as well as a new cluster?. because right now my cluster in the car has the automatic P,R,N,D4,D3, and 2 in the middle between the tach and speedo.

if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be nice

Cluster should be fine, ECU may be able to modify. I know it can be done on OBD1 versions to remove the resistor's and such for Automatic's to function. Do you have the clutch and flywheel? The transmission has to match the clutch spline count. What about transmission mount? Is the Automatic frame position the same?

Would resurface the flywheel and put a new Exedy clutch in at the same time. Maybe even rear main seal.
