[BlackHopeDC5]

[jason_guy_yeah]

why not get a manual tranny? For a d series you could find one cheap. The conversion would be easy, well...depends on what you call easy. But, 5 spd ecu, shift linkage, center console and some hell.

 

[vinnybones]

howmuch u think it would cost to convert to 5 spd

 

[jason_guy_yeah]

hmmm...used d series tranny, $100-200. 5 spd ecue, $50- 100, shift linkage, $75 ??? If your lucky, you can find a wrecked 6th gen at a junkyard. Ebay it.

[Teo74]

an aem intake and hks exhaust is not gonna make u the least bit faster....on any civic...especially on an automatic...u have an automatic civic..of course its gonna be slow..

umm... a turbo kit wont makes no diffrents between auto and manual. The ktis are engine specific, not drivetrain.

Also, Id just do a whole engine swap to a B series. I love my new B. Its so much more fun then my old D.

 

[dirtnyurface]

d or b. a turbo is gonna be hellla fun. but. id say, dont spend anymore $$ on the auto-keep that as a dd, and buy something to build up. and drive the auto till its done.

auto to manual conversion is so worth it, I'm planning on it when I come home from college

Okay, how about this?

boost it with the automatic. Then when the automatic takes a dump, you have a valid excuse to auto-to-manual tranny swap.

Best idea yet.
