From memory... There are a few green connectors under the dash. I think you need to be more descriptive. A picture will help. Is that a B18B you're dropping in? The state of your wiring harness makes me cringe.

Not digging the rainbow of colors for the suspension/steering geometry, but to each his own. Looks like there will be a lot of attention to detail. Good luck

I've got an exedy stage 1 on my car right now. No problems. Smooth engagement. I'm replacing it with an ACT XTSS when I drop in my turbo build in a week or so. Just to hold more power though, but I haven't had problems with the Exedy. I've got a lightened flywheel too, but I'm not sure of the weight/brand. But, it does seem to rev a little faster than a stock flywheel.

Are you swapping everything from the GSR over? including the brakes? or your just swapping the motor?
