I have a family member that might gibve me her 99 stock automatic civic should i even put the money into it to make it a tuner, aka boost and stuff, would the automatic be the downfall. How much will that cost me and how long will it take, my brother is a mechanic. I know, my brother is a mchanic and he will be doing all the work i just have to buy parts.

 

downfall \
just swap in a manual tranny. hey its a free car right

 

sounds like you arent the one who should be making her car into a "tuner"

 

Sounds a bit more like "ricer" to me.

 

Haha, i not really into this just giot into it recently, all i need to know is if i should go though the trouble of the tranny swap or just buy a cheap 240sx and go from there. Plz.

 

its all up to you on what you want.

rock it as a daily driver, or just get it from her and sell/trade it for a 240 if thats what you want, less work to just start with a manual then to do all the fabricating, imo
