Default Integra Ls 2000 35k miles worth keeping

How much does it cost to convert a auto to manual. Please don't tell me to buy a new car I want to try and keep this one. I would appreciate any help possible. Also any tips on performance parts I should get to start out with would be helpful.

Thanks StreetShark

its going to cost alot to do the conversion. It wouldnt be that hard if you found a donor car and just took the parts from there. Its not going to be east looking for ALL the right parts to do the conversion.
Good Luck

Sell it, buy an older GSR like mentioned and then use the money you have left over to start modifying it.

Agreed. Sell the car and get an older gsr and you'll still have money left for mods.

Or, you can sell it for an older manual LS and have money left for turbo.

I understand all of your guys reasoning for saling my car. But if i buy a different car thats older it going to have more wear and tear on it. I just want to try to make this one work for a couple of years any ways.

Another way to think of it would be if you convert it to manual, there could be things that could go wrong as well. If you do buy another car, it might be older but everything is what it should be like from the factory.

leave it, if u don't want to buy a new car, its not worth it to try to switch it over, i did a swap way back in the day and it was a headache, but minded it wasn't on a honda/acura it was on an american car, so word to the wise either just enjoy your car, or if u are willing to sell it then do it and then get any integra that is manuel and in your budget(either base, GSR, Type R whatever).... in the long run u will be better off.
