to convert or not to convert
im a poor student with an auto who wants a 5 speed.
pros: 5 SPEED!!!!!!!!!!
cons: may eventually sell car or may be stolen, 5 speed < auto in value?

Re: to convert or not to convert (namez)
That's sad when you live in a place where you have to worry about your car being stolen.
It's probably not worth the time money or energy if you might sell it later on. Live with the auto like I do.

Re: (tuck'd98)
Just about to be finishing my 5spd conversion sometime this week (Soon as I get my mounts) It's the first thing I decided to do to my car. Because AUTO = ThE SuCkZ! (IMO) But really do whatever you want. You could try selling the car now and buy a 5spd car. But in the end what you do is totally up to you and not to Honda-Tech.

i'd only do it if doing something big to the motor or swapping it.
i was faced with this decision 9 months ago and decided to just sell the car and buy another that was already 5 spd. took me a good 4 months to sell it though, but i stood my ground and didn't drop the price. i eventually sold it for what i was asking.

If you want to sell the car then dont do it. If you want to keep the car and enjoy it then do it.
Dont forget you could sell the car to anyone for the same price weither it be auto or manual. Unless you go to a dealer.
