I own a 93 dx automatic. It is slower than booboo.& Im on a budget. But i need to know if theres something i can do so I can have good pickup. I dont plan on racing it , it just sucks when im going up a small hill & Im holding everyone up behind me. thats embarassing. Can anyone plz help me.

 

Not much you can do, but you can always start by throwing in an intake. Anything to help you get more power.

 

Best bang-for-the-buck mod for an automatic DX? An automatic-to-manual transmission swap.

, but don't get the dx tranny. Get the EX/Si and make sure you get the ECU for a manual tranny, otherwise you'll only be able rev to like 5800 or so.

 

after that (or before ) I/H/E and then you shouldnt be holding people up

 

I agree with the auto -&gt; manual conversion.

With an EX tranny I bet the car would be close to a whole second faster in the quarter to give you an idea.

 

if he wants to get more involved perhaps after the sex change he can go for the ol mini me ?

Might as well just buy an entire D16 SOHC VTEC swap with a 5-speed transmission if he's going to go that far.

I agree

 

haha never thought of that!

 

judging from what you wrote i assume your car isnt too modified yet and since it seems like you are lacking on a little honda knowledge, i might just suggest selling your car and getting a manual car. then go from there
