type-s never came as an auto, she would have to do a motor/trans/ecu swap which entails a lot of work, time and money!

Sell what you can off the 02 base and just buy a RSX-S is the best advice I can give you, but keep it for yourself, don't give it to her! LOL

that thread starts out by talking about doing an auto-to-5 speed conversion; the guy isn't running a type s motor with an auto tranny.
