The depends on several factors. When I swapped my sedan it ended up costing me well under $200 for parts (I knew someone who had junked a '92 civic and replaced it with a '95 civic automatic, kept the '92 5 speed as a parts car, gave him $100 and took everything I needed and gave him my old automatic tranny and guage cluster.) the rest of the cost was a just a few minor odds and ends. I did another auto to manual swap on a '95 coupe for a friend where we actually ended up making money (already had a perfectly good D16Z6 swap sitting in a corner of the garage. Bought a parts car for $200 with blown engine, pulled all the stuff we needed for the auto to manual swap and then parted the rest of the car out and ended up making a few hundread dollars in the process.) Anyway to make a long story short it really depends on the circumstances.

If the car is good overall Id swap trans. But if it has any major problems or cost too much to fix then look for a 5spd car. No offense but you seem pretty new to it so I think you should find a 5spd car. Unless you really want to put money and a lot of effort into it by learning yourself.

thanks .

Nothing wrong with learning from experience/research. For alot of people it's the best way to learn. I don't see anything wrong with you tackling this job yourself, just might take you longer then someone more experienced. but could be a good learning experience.

You buy it the way it is?

dreamer_lokdelsol

well I traded the rim's it came with because they were just to big 20'' ???lol and bought the stock light's and little accessories but most of it came like that. I got it for $1'600.
in payment's , I had a 68' chevelle before this one , so I'm not that familiar with Honda , but i like it .So I think I'm gonna stick around with Honda's.

disordinate

Good call on trading the rims. lol.20's just don't belong on honda's. I like the color. goin from a chevelle to a civic is a big difference. But cars are cars, they still share similarities. glad to here you like your choice. = )
