The ys1 is a rare thing. even if it is the LS it's still one hell-of-a-f'n-tranny. for 3 grand. a tahitan green civic in good condition 3k is a steal IMO....go get it and have fun with it.

does the climate control actually work? ive heard they take an enormous amount of time to hook up correctly since they are all electronic. make sure of that, you might want heat and or AC in your ride

I dunno about cable b16 swap for 2000, but if people pay it...hell what do I know.

Good deal on the ride though.

If you dont want it I have a 2000 civic ex for 3800 up for sale

It's from 90-93 integras//japanese xsi integras? The "better" ys1 is from 92-93 gsr's or the japanese one. The typical tranny on a b16 is a s1 I believe.

Yeah the only way to tell if you have a gsr or an ls on those ys1. Is to crack open the case..... Or you can do what i did and just clock the rpm at the normal crusin speed of 80 in so. cal and compare it to the other ys1s. I got lucky enough to have the gsr....

Yep, get it. The swap would be worth that much if u consider the mounts, intake, Skunk manifold, etc. Its a good deal.
