Default Something is wrong with me.

Lately I've been contemplating a swap for the EK and fixing it up. It's something about not having a car payment and bored with the automatic transmission thats in it now. h:

I've done D-Series, and B-Series swaps on some of my previous cars but may look into this whole K20/24 swap. Anyone know of any good solid how-to's out there? I've checked out Honda-Tech and they've got plenty but you have to dig threads for days.

first step...sell your automatic and get a stick.
step two: buy HASport K mounts
step two point five: buy k20 or k24
step 3: buy hondata kpro
step 4: buy plug n play harness from HASport
step 5: do a lil more research
step 6: install pics, post, profit

I would rather not waste time converting the D over to manual, and just do it all at once with the K.

I ment sell your automatic car..the entire thing..and get one with a stick....converting from auto to manual is a pain in the ass. The mount on the frame rail for the auto trans is physically in a different place than for a manual. This mount will have to be cut off and re-welded into the position where the manual mount is. Then you still have to convert all your shit over to manual. Its just not worth it in my opinion.
