If you're going to buy a new car, why spend money on the one you have now? Save the money you're going to spend on your current car and use it towards the new one.

Do you not remember the first time you asked this question?

The answers aren't going to change in a 32 hour period.
But since you're new, I'll humor you and answer your question again.
Pay attention, please.
1) The cost of a MT conversion, combined with the loss of resale value that results from the conversion, should be enough to convince you to just buy an MT car. A stock 2000 LS automatic still has very good resale value.
2) As the majority of people mentioned in the first thread, the minor increases in power that come from bolt-on mods are wasted on an AT car.
A cold-air intake and exhaust header do not make a big enough increase in output.
3) If you spend the money to turbocharge your AT Integra, you will also need to modify the transmission internals to handle the additional power reliably.
If I were you, I would sell your '00 Integra LS automatic and buy a GSR, even if it means buying an older car with higher mileage.
