Yeah, I know this question really depends on personal views, But i was wondering. Should I mod an Automatic car?(Especially one with 180k Miles on it, with frequent maintainence done, such as timing belts, gaskets ect) I'm kind of weary about it, because i've heard how much better it would be to have a Stick. But I was just wondering of your oppinions.


or

 

In my opinion, it would be better to have a stick, but a well maintained auto would do just fine. My auto has 189,xxx and is running strong with simple mods and regular maintenence. Mod up the auto and do the 5spd swap down the road is what I plan to do, but this won't happen for another two years or so due to college. It's up to you.

 

man, auto's are ok, but trust me, if you dont get a 5spd now youll wish you had. personally, i would'nt even consider an auto. but thats just me.

 

If it is a good clean car with a known history, keep it. You'll wish you had the 5 speed. I have a clean rust free 93 EX that I don't really care to drive because it's an auto (bought it for my daughter to drive when she's home from school). I actually prefer to drive my rusty faded 90 LX (EX sway bars and Prelude 5 psd) because it's more fun.

 

Yeah, I see your point. I guess the only thing I will do is just keep 'er clean. Maybe add a few mods for a little umph, but what the heck. Thanks for all your opinions on this guys, very much appreciated.

 

clean car + maintenence = no reason not to mod it

5spd can suck sometimes in hardcore traffic

 

Yea, sometimes driving stick almost gets annoying... almost..
