exactly.

B16's have shit for lowend anyway, the LS tranny would just further slugify it.

Yep I converted my Integra To stick after about 2 months of having the car. I have'nt had no problems, as long as you do everything you are suppost to do you will be fine. You can't even tell my car was Auto b4. Joe get your shit together and just save up. I know first hand how are you have worked on that car. Ohh and so new shots of your paint job please

you're never going to get perfect at it if you only practice on your friend's cars once in awhile. get the 5 speed and it'll become 2nd nature in a day or two.

Thats more than likely what I will do. I just wrecked my moms car so gotta use what money I had saved for the engine on that but after I get that taken care of, shouldn't take more than 2-3 months to save up the money for the b16a. I've decided to go ahead and swap in the manual as well. Will be a little work but worth it I would think. Now that I made my decision to get the b16a, might need some help once I get it in on building it for a little speed. Appreciate the support Sang and Honura, yall understand why I wouldn't want to sell the car and buy another. haha Anywayz, thanks yall for the help!

P.S. Picking up the car from the painter tomorrow, so will have some pictures some time tomorrow if weather permits.
