Pretty much a waste of time. You'd be better off selling the Civic and getting another with a manual transmission. And an auto to manual swap wouldn't be economical, and they don't really make sense if you can easily find the same car or better with a manual transmission selling for the same price as you could sell yours for.

i have never heard of an auto- Si!! EVER! are you sure you have an Si?

And manual swaps are not that extreme either. I have done one on my 2000 Ex if you are decently mechanically inclined you can do it easy enough. Plenty or threads started about this just search it if you go that route

"190,000 KM's" is a dead giveaway that he's foreign. He's most likely in Canada.

I'm not saying a manual swap is extreme, it's just not worth it. Why would you spend a few hundred dollars and a lot of time on a manual swap when you can sell your stock auto civic (that you haven't invested your time/money into yet, so selling it doesn't make anything a waste of time) and buy another stock manual civic for as much as you sell yours for?
