Read just about any auto mag (ie, car & driver, motortrend), and every comment they'll say about honda's 5-speed is that they are to par with BMW. Shifter feel, feed back, throws, balance, etc.
Most people with higher milage honda auto's have to have them rebuilt. They're not quite the same...
Yea the previous owner of the civic i have now has had her engine rebuilt already. Im just looking to get my car to run like low 13's or high 12's. I dont plan on doing illegal racing in it. Im just looking for a car to have fun with and plan on keeping it for a long time. But if the need for some prick in a 5.0 to come and challenge me or some jerk in a old school lincoln(yes i've been beaten in one of these b4 and it wasnt fun) then i want to be able to if not win at least keep up :chuckles:
