hey, if you want to mod your car, go ahead and do it man, dont' listen to what everyone says about your car, after all, it is YOUR CAR, and if they don't like it, then too bad for them. Even if its an automatic, if you mod it, it will go fast, just cause its an auto, dont' underestimate it ya know? and since you have an auto, when you beat someone with a manaul, ah yees, the loook on their face will ever be so much more gratifying.
p.s. i got an auto 94 civic ex, and its not fast, but it an't slow eitha, ppl underestmate what i gotz, and they pay for it.
