I vote do an auto-2-manual... just ask someone you know to ship all the stuff you need and be done with it, there are plenty of manual civic in the US scrapyard.

its kinda like not buyin a B series car when you got the D series MUCH cheaper. especially when you have to have enough $$ to buy 2 cars at once.


BTW, im out the door now to go look at a GTS-t

----, this sucks. .I looked at 8 different hondas tonight, all automatics. I did learn something tonight though. most integras come with D15's, not the D15vtec, the peice of ---- D15. the only vtec integras ive come accross were the type Rs from the first post i made about car shopping. (ohhh yeah, and a 4dr type R comes stock with 4 lugs)

im gonna talk to a guy about a 180sx here soon. hes about to leave the island, so hopefully he will take little to nothing for it. I also found a 91Levin with the factory supercharged motor (unsure of the code) and is a 5spd. still not sure if he even wants to sell it, but im gonna ask. :P

Holy crap dude, swoop that ----.

It's called a 4agze, it's a 1.6 liter supercharged/intercooled motor. Those engines have really beefy stock internals, people have swapped the supercharger (because it's rather small) for a turbocharger, and have run about 20 psi on the stock internals with no problems. When I decide to upgrade my internals, I will be getting the bottom end and the tranny of that engine. Good find, see if you can get it.

If you could get that 91 Levin, that would be the ----.

Otherwise I say go with a Honda and to the auto to manual swap. You can get the pedal tree off eBay for cheap, I saw a few of them yesterday.

i have never heard of ir seen an AWD integra.
although, the comment about people leaving, yes, thats teh best way to pick up a car. thats how i got the skyline so cheap. that was REAL cheap though. i should have paid in the are of about $3500 for that car.

link to anything on the net about swappin the motors. i found 3 "91 levin, good good a/c, std 5spd tranny, good running car, $500" all over the classifides this morning (first time really looking for a levin) i just wonder, if its the base motor, can the engines be swapped easily?
