A question, has anyone out there done an auto to manual swap in their Teg, any problems. I also did the Frankenstein swap, to go with my GSR tranny swap...oh what a difference i also have a AEM intake and lightened flywheel with a fuel regulator, lowered rims etc...

I am also a just a rookie with manual (only been driving now for a week, but doing fine!) anyways, say i want to race, whats the best way to drive my car the quickest?

my bro did an auto to manual swap in his civic, it worked ok, cept his check engine light was on all the time, think you have to get a manual computer.

With all the money you would spend on a manual swap you could save up a little more and just get a turbo.Thats what id do at least.

actually, with the money you spend with a manual swap, maybe worth it to do a swap to gsr, but my bro also had a 94 civic ls, so your case might be different.
