Never. I'm gonna keep it fairly stock, otherwise I'll throw my classing for auto-X. I might swap to an EX motor down the line, but swapping to B16 or anything like that will put me in a prepared class which will have me running against RX7's and Z06 Vettes. I gotta keep it OG in STS class. Plus it's a hell lot easier to drive auto since you need 2 hands on the wheel at pretty much most times. I'l probably get a 3k stall Level10 T/C for the tranny just to allow for some better gear hold times and such, but that's about it. Remember autoX is suspension and brake oriented, all else is rather irrelivant. I just need some increased low end pickup, but a Civic is gonna bog in that department whether manual or auto. That's something you gotta change with the motor itself.
Gear Ratios have a huge part to do with low end also. Auto or Manual. The Auto trannies on honda's have a shitty gear ratio. Even if you swap a manual will they change your class?
