Probably a stupid question asked too many times...but

Looking for my next Teg..
I would have to agree with the person above who said to sell your current teg and just buy 1 with a manual transmission... for a die hard that has a second car to scoot around in this isn't such a big deal, but doing the auto to manual swap isn't as easy as just slapping in a manual with shifter and linkage.

There are threads over at G2IC that outline this and i know that the center "hump" that the shifter sits on has differing holes cut for the auto and manual. That said berside swappign mechanical parts you need to remove the center console and do some cutting to get the manual shifetr to fit properly

Also going to a B18C ITR motor you would most likely want to use the Hydro tranny that comes with it. This would require salvaging the Hydraulic pedals from a DC series and doing more fabricating, or getting the cable to hydro conversion kit from Hasport.

Again, for someone newer to cars and modding this is a huge undertaking & not just a weekend swap project. If you half ass it you are gonna trash your ride and piss alot more $$$ into it than is worthwhile.

Also I am not trying to rain on your parade... if this is something you are dead set on doing by all means get the learning experience you can. and for what it is worth... the only stupid questions are the ones you never ask :)

Go to G2IC.com and look up the conversion threads there... lots of super good info to equip yourself with for this project... I cannot stress to you enough to make sure you research this to the fullest.

I agree. Doing the manual conversion just doesn't seem to be worth the money or time. I don't even know how to drive stick yet I thought about doing the swap. I like my DA mainly because of the chassis. That's why I thought about this swap rather than selling her for some cash for a 3rd gen GSR or Type R if I could find one.

Oookaay then... No need for trash talking, I am just saying what I would do. If using the word sexy to describe a Honda as good looking then sorry I offended you, or when I said 'mane'. I am clearly wrong of a manual conversion, it may be possible, but to me isn't worth it, especially a Honda. I'm sorry but if I had a MK3 I wouldn't hesitate converting it from auto to manual. That is a car really worth doing so much work. A 90 Ls is cool, and I love the sound of a type r in it,don't get me wrong, just think it'd be worth spending money on a better more modernized one. Anyways just my input, just speaking my mind. Feel free to do whatever you see fit Mike, just keep us posted. I would love to see it on a thread, so when u start open a build thread with lots of pics!

Yea I wasn't trash talking your language. I was just agreeing with the guy who did about the cost and work involved in this swap. As far as a build thread goes, I'll get around to it eventually, I'm just afraid to face flaming and ridicule from other CI users for how I originally had my Integra. (Ricer tail lights, ebay wheel...etc.) She's getting better now though :)

Who cares what other people think about your teg. My first one was soo riced out and people hated on it, but I don't give a shit what people thinks. Just don't add a huge body kit or an aluminum spoiler.

I have yet to see someone get seriously flamed in their build thread... maybe in the help sections yes, but build threads tend to be a little more respected cause we all love seeing folks projects. Most you will get towards being flamed is some jackwad's opinion on something you did. Key there is to remember opinions are like assholes...

As far as an Type-R you would be saving for awhile... when I do see one available it is usually going for around 10k $$$

DC GSR's can be had for 3-6k Same with most DA GSR's I'd look at a DA GS-r ( as long as it had OG parts) just cause they are getting to be a bit more rare.

I was talking about the girl with the Fit, said not to take advice from me because how I talked. It's cool tho, I know what I did and I am just helping a fellow who may get in my situation, but fortunately I have almost completed my project( I have been waiting since 09/12) but that was just because I didn't know how to do the swap, Thanks to me being curious I just added a few map sensor and extended plugs to iacv and oil pressure sensor, fan switch sensor isn't there and I will have to take out the bung that is replacing the spot where the fan switch goes. Just some things I decided to do before I lost all hope, but I heard it was plug and play, so I think of it as a b series mini me swap of some sorts.

Point I'm trying to make is that you came to the right place before getting in a colossal money pit. If you got the $ just invest with it already done, and then build up from that, slap a Turbo in it, do some motor work, whatever the case may be you can learn experience doing that rather than the other things you were planning on doing. Because if you had done the tranny conv. You wouldn't learn because you'd be so Damn frustrated Lol.

It's ok, she made grammatical errors too while correcting you. WTF is not a sentence yet she added a period and technically it should have been WTF, never take advice.....
