A manual SiR hatchback Civic?...... Laughing

I am on the lookout for one but now I am wondering if it better to get any EK hatch and start the long painful conversion process.

Anybody have one dat looking for a new owner?

Boy it only have about 3- 4 orginal EKs, Its like lookin for a CTR. Gettin an EK hatch and coverting may be faster, but it might jus cost yuh

look for an eg hatch and do the conversion if not already converted

suspension upgrades are cheaper
more widley available
and wider range of tunability on the suspension

Rudman it have a red eh hatch on the forum for sale only ting its automatic but u can just convert to manual, it already has a b16a and an energy suspension bushing kit installed, an apexi vafc ii, 15 gold rims etc. Might be easier to convert auto to manual than a whole engine conversion. Car looks fairly good though. price $34k ono

look for a ek hatch in good condition(no body or undercarriage damage) get a b18c engine & gearbox(use the b16a5 head with stage 2 cams,ctr pistons,a good brand cold air intake(aem) + headers(dc sports or jasma) ,2.5 free flowing exhaust. suspension & brake upgrades . you will have a great street car.

Had a look at a couple of hatches over the last week, most were automatic however.

How difficult is it to get a manual conversion for a honda these days?

Rudman, these ideas these fellahs talking about not cheap eh. I say start with a b16 and mod from there. Which engine do you want to get the manual conversion for ?

^What can I do with Wesley's car? He has a D15B, not sure what tuning he did with it so far.

dump the engine and box and install a b16a

you already have the pedals etc for manual
hanress will have to change

suspension seems to be a good start as well
