i always though standards are cheaper,if you look at them lil black books at car dealerships its like deduct 350 if standard,but w/e.....naw i realized i dont mind the miles,im pretty much changing lot of engine(valves,retainers,cams,pulleys,valve rods,all the good stuff) so i mean and i can get transmission easily,i live near a ghetto country junkyard,so if they have civics,the engines will be shot or sold,but transmission will still be there,so i think this is a good plan
