tl;dr-- What are the metal rings in the second picture for?
First post here;
I bought a clean 96 civic DX 5 speed about 2 weeks ago, with about 250k miles on the clock, and have been fixing what needs to be fixed, and doing some light modding to her.
My question, for those who might know, is what the devil are those metal rings for?
I can't seem to find any reference to them in the service manual. is this even a part I'm going to need on the D16Y7?
Oh, and the gauge kit looks like this BTW, not relevant to the thread, but I alluded to it earlier. Yes, temp gauge needle is broken, I'm fixing that.

- New halfshafts because who's got the time to rebuild a cv joint these days.
- Short shifter, because it's cheap, and the stock shifter just feels sloppy. Kept the stock boot and knob.
- Indiglo gauges not because of the rice factor, but because the $8 for the indiglo kit was far cheaper than replacing all the burnt out bulbs. I think it looks nice.
- eBay front/back/upper/lower strut brace and tie bar kit. (I know they don't do much, but the car feels slightly stiffer, to me) also, the one in the boot/trunk gives me a nice place to store coolant and oil jugs.
