90 Honda Civic ; General Questions/ Trans, Interior
I have a 90 Honda civic Hatchback DX. 20x,xxx origanol miles on previous engine and current automatic transmission. I have done an engine change but its the same engine. D15B2.
So my questions are:
Can I install a manual transmission easily? ( Without having to make any real changes)
What center consoles can I put in?
What are some affordable mods I can install to improve performance? ( No exhaust mods please )
How much do you think a front right fender would be?
Can I install Newer brakes? ABS ect.
Any idea why my breaks sometimes have preassure and other times it doesn't? The lines have been flushed ect. There is no apparent issue. THey just work when they want to.

All of your answers can be found using search.
Well, except for #4. Depends where you shop and you shouldn't be asking that anyway as it holds zero tech value (as you can see in the forum rules).
#1 Seriously check out search for this. It's been covered many many times. There are a couple parts that are kind of tough to do if you want it done properly. The firewall hole for the clutch cable and the floor panel for the manual shifter. You don't have to do it with these parts, but by using them you will have the best results.
#2 has several options ranging from optional OEM consoles, Integra console, and CRX dash swap.
#3 No exhaust? It's a standard for any vehicle for gaining more power. Intake, Header, Exhaust. Other than that, if you got the $ then going forced induction wakes these motors up very well.
#4 pfffft.
#5 Yes, you actually can add the ABS, however it's not a common swap so expect having trouble finding coverage in searches and trouble getting the parts together for it. I've seen cars with the JDM ABS (ALB) on them as well as conversions from the Integra. Not a very worthwhile upgrade. It sounds like you are going on the cheap with your build so I think it would be wise to just stay away from this.
