i wish i would have used inline resistors next to the clips instead of oem resistor box......less hacking, easier to switch back if needed.

 

WRONG.

There is a gangplug on OBD1/2 vehicles you can plug a resistor box into if you get an extra plug and wire the resistor box to it.

 

Werd son.

 

really ? ----.. where is this plug in a 96 civic ex

 

I think it is under the IM.

 

Should be, OBD2 default location is under IM.

Finding a spare male OBD2 "big plug" can be slightly annoying, if you aren't concerned with a slick professional looking install then it might be real expedient to just do the inline setup, or cut into the harness but do a real clean job of packaging. The OBD1 8p plugs on the driver's shock tower are pretty universal and easy to come by.
