My car is reborn... kinda
So after the carnage of hitting a 100lb dog going 60mph, I finally replaced the radiator support, straightened the front frame rail with a sledge hammer, and put on the new fenders and bumper cover. I still need the metal bumper itself, and the car needs to be painted. I also replaced my clutch with a six puck sprung clutch and my flywheel with an 11lb one from lsd while it was off the road. The clutch swap was a friggen nightmare, and my advice is that if you have an engine hoist or lift when replacing the clutch, just pull the whole engine and make life easier for yourself. but thanks to LSD for a sweet clutch, still getting used to it, my old one was worn down to the rivets.
ANYWAY, I broke something and I need one of you part -----s to help me out. I over-torqued the bracket before the tranny was on all the way, its on the bottom of the engine behind the oil pan that connects the back of the engine block to the bottom of the tranny. It is a approx. 1inch square aluminum bracket sort of "L" shaped connected to the engine by 2 or 3 14mm bolts and to the tranny with a 17mm bolt I think. Oh its from a b18b. Help me out nignogs. I'd post pictures but I've downgraded to 56k for the summer and can't tie up my phone line for 6 hours. oh yeah, my POS greddy 18g internal wastegate isn't working, any ideas? Limitless boost is fun, but kind of horrifying

Took me 5 hours to swap out my clutch by myself, got it disassembled and out fine, getting the trans shaft to line back up was the ------- hard part, ------- thing dropped on my chest a few times. Having a hand woulda been marvelous

For those of you that can swap a clutch in < an hour. If you're anywhere near Miami I've got $100 for an hour's worth of work...
