Think its worth it
Well, heres the delima. I am missing my honda as I see more roll around the island, and of all the cars Ive looked at for myself I want another honda. (this time I wanna go n/a though) then get something boosted (such as boosting the skyline, which is planned anyways). Anyways, Im finding ---- loads of B series auto civics/CRX's everywhere. Priced between $300-$2,000. EVERY DAM ONE A ------- AUTOMATIC. I have seen 2 manual HONDA's since ive been here, both NOT for sale. (to include integra's) So my question, buy the super cheap auto honda and do the conversion?
Now the other choice, ive come across a few 180sx's in decent shape with the SR20det 5spd, usally with some crazy suspension mods done, for around $1500-$2,000.
Which would you do? buy the honda, and do the conversion or hold out, and save a few more $$'s and get the 180?

If it's a EF or DA then get the auto and convert it to a 5spd otherwise ---- messing with the hydro conversion unless your got skillz like that. If I lived over thurr like you I'd still get a honda and ---- all that Nissan ----. Show them JDM ****'s how we turbo US folks turbo honda's!
