I have an auto, too, and frankly I'm ready to move on. I did find a shop in MD that would do a JDM B20 swap + manual swap for $2300-2500. I have just about all the necessary parts, though, so I'm paying a lot for labor. But it's worth investigating.

IMHO for high performace the only way to go is with a stick shift. The easiest and cheapest way would be to sell your car and get a manual transmision one.

So far my tranny has held up pretty well. For the street, I am quite happy with how fast & responsive the car has become.

Joshman......what do you want you teg to do?

Let us know so we can realisticly give you alternatives.

Scott.
great point, headers, turbo, chip, change the gears, get a kit, rims, etc.
you can throw a vtec head on it too. youre going to spend the same amount of money hooking them up. So, either way. basically, it comes down to this.

DO WANT MANUAL OR NOT???
