Si because its the shortest geared and makes a D series feel fast.

And I want your HF tranny lol. MPG FTW.

I wish my fifth gear was taller. I overtake often though, so being lower in the rpm at cruising would suck.

Well if you take a turd and polish it you just have a shinny turd. Si trans with HF motor = dumb.

never seen toad talk like that!!!

he has a good point though, get a z6 or a6 motor with a tranny and swap as a whole.


off topic but same phrase...

i used to have a 92 2 door s-10 blazer bagged with a LT1 camaro engine in it and an old timer came up to me in a parking lot one day and said... "it's like polishing a turd." i said "what???" he replied "putting an engine like that in a big rectangle brick, that's the least aerodynamic vehicle you could pick!" and he walked away shaking his head.

i've never wanted to kill someone so much in my life

haha, useless thread, thought i'd add some humor for you

Well then come in and be specific. Like purpose of car. Motor in car. Future mods. For all we know a ZC/SI hybrid trans might be the best.

Plus it is pure speculation on what is "the best", what is best for me might not be the case for someone else.

Details people details. Don't ask broad questions and not expect broad answers.

if you hate it, get rid of it.

who gives a **** what we think anyway.

if you race, get an si trans. If you dont, get a dx one. its that simple.

Actually, the STD transmission is basically just an HF transmission without fifth gear (same ratios 1-4), and with a shorter final drive. As such, it is actually a better transmission than the HF transmission for performance.

I have to say that I don't feel the HF transmission improves fuel economy alot. I actually just swapped out the SI transmission in my brother's old Civic for an HF transmission. And I don't feel like it has improved economy much. In fact, economy still doesn't seem to be any better than my ITR CRX. By the way, the motor is a stock DX motor.
