Fog lights – Firewall passthrough

I’m thinking about mounting a set of fog lights on my ’97 Integra and I
can’t see an obvious opening to run wire through the firewall. Can anyone
recommend a good way to pass wire into the interior? (Or a website that
covers a fog light install)

Also, in front of the armrest on the center console there are 4 rectangular
blanks. Are there OEM switches available to fill these openings?

Thanks,
Dave

Integra Warranty Question

I have a 99 stick Integra LS and i want to do some work on it, you know, just
swap out the intake and change the exhaust system but i wonder if this will
have any impact on the 7year/100k warranty?  I tend to think that if i just
switched the muffler there would be no problem but maybe the intake would be a
bad idea, since its actually inside the engine.

Failed Emissions Test

ASM2525 TEST
HC ppm : limit = 86, reading = 197
CO % : limit = 0.48, reading = 2.78
NO ppm : limit = 984, reading = 885

CURB IDLE
HC ppm : limit = 200, reading = 191
CO % : limit = 1.00, reading = 0.70
NO ppm : limit = N/A, reading = N/A

Changed catalytic converter and re-test.  Almost no difference in results.
Had O2 sensor changed two years ago.
Temperature gauge on dash sometimes slowly drops (cold) while driving and
only reaches 1/4 of displayed scale.
No problems getting heat in car at anytime.
Bad thermostat causing engine to run cool?
But could this justify these results?

Question re: Towing Vigor & auto transmission -

Hello,

Is it "OK" to tow my Vigor about 6 miles to a friend’s garage?  It is an
Auto-tranny, but I’m concerned about possible damage towing THIS
transmission in neutral for that distance.

Yes or no?

Any concerns??

(lost the engine so need to change it out – thus the towing)
