What should I do with this d16z6
 

I just bought a 93 Civic EX coupe. Its an auto and one of the slowest cars I have ever driven. I mean the thing is a dog, I get passed by every car on the road.

What should I do with it? If Im going to keep it and stick with the auto tranny? Give me some ideas of what you guys would do. Thanks

Swap a manual in it and boost it.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

i guess me and boost posted that at the same time...dont mind my whoring...:)

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

thats even more money. were did you buy this car from a private dealer or car company? I know you must have test driven it or something. Why did you buy it if it seemed that slow to you?

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

I got a badass deal on it. It has a few aftermarket parts that I can sell and make it an even better deal. It has a full exhaust (dc header, high flow cat, fart can), intake(I think its iceman or something), It has a JDM guage cluster, JDM radio, JDM climate control. Im planning on selling all that crap and just making it fast or rather faster haha.

Is it that bad to boost an auto? An auto swap is a pain in the ass.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

its not bad to boost and auto, but your going to get laughed at. not trying to flame, just stating the truth.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

honestly it would be worht it to do the manual swap.. boosting with an auto tranny has been done but its up to you

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

plus i heard the auto tranny sucks when it's boosted. Its worth getting a swap but i would have hold out for a manual to save you the trouble. Oh well whats done is done. Sell the headers, radio, and climate control.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

And the damn guages, never know how fast Im going. Whats 70mph like 110kph?

Anyone have an article on what goes into swapping a auto to a manual? I might just make this one back to stock and sell it.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

id vote for the manual swap.

But I did see a z6 sedan auto @10psi run a 14.8 consistently. He had a shift kit in the auto trans tho

probably a pts kit from levelten.com

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

ebay all that stuff except the exhaust and cat. You'll have enough for some major parts to hmt that motor.
good luck

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

14.8? That sucks IMO. I guess Im going to take the car back to stock and sell it then. Thanks guys.

What kind of car should I look out for that I can make pretty quick without doing major swaps to?

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

get at least a manual

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

I will buy the head from you.

yeah right, another-word stating... i wanna buy the head. LOL.

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
 

how about you just take all the stuff you want and leave it running and trade me for my car ;D

Re:What should I do with this d16z6

Re:What should I do with this d16z6
