As for the auto to manual swap, I picked up a parts car a few weeks ago, its all stripped of the parts I need. Should be going the swap shortly.

Image
Image

What I had from my 92 SI
Image
-d16z6
-SI tranny
-flywheel
-clutch
-shift linkage
-P28 ecu
-Manual starter
-exhaust manifold

Off the parts car i got the rest of the stuff needed for the swap

-pedal
-clutch relay
-manual mount
-interior harness
-shift knob
-master cylinder
-clutch fluid container
-clutch lines



probably forgot to list something, but il keep this updated, and do a write up for those that are going to be doing the same swap.

clutch rely, good idea to have it, but not necessary.

I will take more pics, of the rest of the parts needed.
