might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

my cousin is moving to cali and he has no need for his car..its a 1998 Red Civic DX Coupe its got like 60k miles on it and the thing is beat to ----...everypanel is dented broken windshield, headlights and all sorts of other ---- no to mention i dont even think it had the original engine in it. anyway its an automatic and my friend has a a DX manual tranny i could put in it if i take it...how hard is this like mounting the pedel and ---- and i need a new ecu right? im probably gonna have to give him like 2gs for it is this worth it???

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

$2000 for a beat to ---- automatic DX coupe? I dunno man, I'm desperate and I don't think I would take it for that price. :-\

its just the body thats shot ill see if i can get pics but i doubt i can i need a damn digi it was his first car thats why

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

Just the body that's shot? What does that leave? The engine is ----, the tranny is ----, the body is shot, how is the interior?

Maybe it's just me? I would rather have a straight body than anything because I hate body shops with a passion. The rest of the car doesn't matter to me. :-\

IMO $2000 is too much.

It definitely is just you. I sometimes buy an entire car just to get my hands on one of those sweet sweet automatic Honda transmissions.

what the hell can u possibly do with a honda auto tranny

blow it up in a couple hours?

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

dude, those honda auto trannys are sick...

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

guuna cost you another grand to convert to manual trans.

you need a new mount i believe.

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

Werd. All the misc pieces of the manual swap add up quickly. Plus there is some rigging that needs to be done with the shifter and wiring. Not worth it IMO.

Re:might be getting a 98 Civic .......
 

i'm with you on that, i would rather have a car with a nice body and a fucked up engine/trans/suspension/etc. than a fucked up body. body work sucks and it sucks to have to pay people to work on your car (especially body shops). and yeah, 2g's is kind of a lot for that, by the time you fix the wind shield, lights, body, auto to manual conversion, you will have spent the same amount if not more than if you just bought one in good shape with a manual already :-\
