recently i raced a mainly stock eclipse gs 5sp i had a 5th gen auto civic dx , and i lost to say the least , after losing i decided that i should stop spending my money on all body stuff and put something into the engine. But how much can u really do to an auto ya know, so tranny swap was the first thing that had to be done. so i bought myself a ex tranny swaped it right up (which was accually a hell of alot easier then people thought it would be) and first time outta the shop raced the same eclipe and won. So if u gotta auto i strongly suggest a tranny swap .Auto vs Manual, Definitly manual

thatd be interesting, i have a freind who has a 91 crx SI with a ZC swap, he was going to do a b16 this summer but i think now hes saving up so he can sell the rex and build a H22 hatch <img src="http://www.clubhonda.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif" alt="Cool" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin::cool:-->
