Are there any mechanical downsides to putting, eg, a B16A1 into an automatic? Are there a variety of automatic transmission choices or should I just stick with my '90 version? Johnc

Thanks for your input guys. My car has a good body, I've spent some in redoing the steering/suspension. If I want to get into something like a B16A and convert to manual, is it wiser to find a rolling manual shell or can conversion to manual of my automatic be done without too much trouble? johnc

I will be reviewing tomorrow and will find out. I am a newbie to the world of civics. Thanks for the heads up. Johnc

I'm looking at purchasing a 1992 Civic HB with a 1.6L vtec engine. I am welcoming your views on this engine. Johnc

Thankyou folks. I'm sure I'll be making a few posts as per recommended replacement parts. For example: Tire recommendations (around here we have some wet times so, in non-low profiles, what would you recommend for daily driving/not competition?) Exhaust system recommendations...

Hey Kyle, Thanks for the reply. Wouldn't problems have shown up by now? (unless this owner is not informing me of the full story). As a precondition to sale, I am having a Japanese car mechanic of mine inspect the vehicle thoroughly. Sincerely, Johnc
