I just bought a 92 Honda Civic DX Hatchback, unfortunately I payed a very low price because it was an automatic. I didn't care to much because alot of people said any good mechanic shop could do an auto to manual conversion for me during the swap. Is this true first off? Is it easy and/or expensive? Secondly, I want my car to be a general daily driver, yet I want to get the best quarter mile possible. I have no smog laws in Canada, and I don't care much about losing a little drivability or mileage for some good 1/4 times. What swap would get the best times, yet me an easy install and offer good room for mod's/turbo apps/ etc..
Thanks in advance for any info. I just wanna see what engine has the best reputation, and if my auto to manual swap will be too much of a pain.
P.S. My dad is a mechanic and said doing that swap I would never get it lined up right and would burn clutches left right and center.
