Ok so here's the story I just got my license and I bought my first car
I always been a Honda fan so I bought myself a Honda civic ex 1998 coupe
I like the car but I had to buy it automatic because I needed a car fast and I didn't have time to look and wait for a decent stick shift Honda to pop up

Now I guess I have Honda fever. since I got the thing and been looking at other peoples mods and cars I want to swap my motor and do a complete conversion to stick I know a little bit about Honda engines but I'm sure a little bit isn't enough I wanted to go with a b series swap nothing too expensive I want something simple fast enough to enjoy and have fun with anyone have any tips for me? Also I don't know what exhaust to go with my stock exhaust makes fart noises lol so please can u guys help me out with ideas feel free to ask me quiestions

Ps should I go with coilovers or springs ? What are some good brands preferably not that expensive
