Problems w/strut bar...for 2.3 Stick...HELP!!!

I have the 2.3 CL stick..and have problems putting my strut bar mainly because on one of the sides there are a lot of wires blocking it that are stuck to something...how would I move the wires or whatever....anyone have to deal with it...i think those wwires have to do with the manual tranny stuff...

i think he got the 94-97 accord...the 98+ 4cyl should fight right on...cuz i've seen my friends engine bay and the placement is exaclty the same, or just by eyeing it i got the 98+ one haha

whoa now it gets confusing....the 98 2.3CL uses parts from both the 94-97 accord AND the 98+ accords?

The 98 2.3CL has the same engine as the 98+ non-V6 Accords so most engine-related mods of the 98+ non-V6 Accords will fit the 98 2.3CL. However, the 98 2.3CL has almost the same chassis as the 94-97 Accords so most suspension-related mods of the 94-97 Accords will fit the CLs. I hope this helps.

yea wat jawo said was correct...but there is somehting in the way that i cant put the bar on because of some wires i think that has to do with the tranny or something...i dunno where to take the wire holder thing off...im not sure about it...if any one knows about that because i thiunk it has to do with manual transmission because my friend who has the new accord(which is automatic) and the engine placement of everything is the same except that one part is extra on mine...i dunno how to get move it or watever...

I checked my car and I do see these wires too. I'm not sure if they will really be blocking the strut bar (I don't have one except for the stock one). Let me know when you figure this out coz I wanna install one too!

Thanks.

some of the wires are bolted down somewhere and im not sure about if moving the wires will be bad or anything but it is also right above and next to one of the struts where you would screw one of the sides of the strut bar on...and plus i havent had much time either with work and summer school...commuting in opposite directions im having trouble keeping up...stress dammit
