Hello, everyone.
I am a newbie to the forum.

I drive a 1993 Honda Civic DX, Coupe, and Auto. I already know your saying "Good another civic driver." or "Just a DX what a moron didnt know DX weren't Vtech." or possibly "retard bought automatic, 5spd are better performance overall."

Well i knew all this.

I plan to do a engine swap and tranny swap. B17a1, man their quick and a rare engine to find. Anyone know were i can get one cheap?

But I decided to do exterior mods first sences its cheaper. I plan to keep the stock look. not a RICER(no offense). I have bought factory fog lamps and clear corners. I am in the proccess of buying Red/Clear 97 Si Tail lamps designed for my 1993(cut and fitted). I will eventually post pics of my car.

Till then, i wont be posting much just reading up on your posts.

Peace Ben

Man dont sweat it not having a vtec. My 97 Civic doesnt have one either and im saving up for a swap. And thank you for not doing the ricer thing. I almost did that with my car but thanks to some good people I didnt :)

Auto! Maunal can be easier to break the engine when they stuck in heavier traffic.

hmmm, i also learned by reading that auto can take off quicker and have better handling due to when it shifts gears.

but then agian 5speed do have the advanged of switching gears when ever and have better overall performance. can be little bit quicker then autos too.

But hey i can POWER SHIFT.........lol

would like more input on if i should do the swap or not. cuase here comes my 1993 LS teg motor.

i think ill stay auto for awhile till i get more funds to do a 5spd swap.

welcome to hs. I have a auto teg and was highly considering on swaping the tranny but now that i think about it it's not worth it unless u get engine swap.
