auto->manual conversion, hicas kept(though no ps pump to use hicas for now), ac kept, stock sidemount, and other misc stuff.
for any future people with hicas and want to keep hicas, you need to find a SR HICAS power steering pump. ka hicas ps pump does not mount on the bracket.
i had to grind off a bit off the bracket that the ac mounts to cause it wouldn't turn. could be just my situation?
for those who are doing the auto to manual conversion, if you have a clip, you CAN use the master and slave cylinders, you just need to bend the lines for left hand drive. you also need the FRONT part of a manual driveshaft. i bought a whole drive and only used the front. maybe it was because of HICAS but thats my story and im sticking to it.
you need a manual KA speed sensor because the auto KA speed sensor is too big to fit the sr transmission.
wiring, is a *****. but not that bad. get a FSM...not an option but a requirement. for the swap and for future headaches.
shot a short clip of me in starting the motor. towards the end it dies cause i turned the motor off. the loud *** noise is cause i dont have the exhaust or downpipe on...straight off the manifold biatch!

all in all, im smiling from ear to ear right now.
