Follow these steps:
1) Take out an ad in the paper advertising yourself as a gigolo
2) While earning money as a gigolo, continue to drive your car as you would daily
3) Buy a B18 or B16 engine. Continue being a gigolo.
4) When the tranny renders the car undrivable, swap the engine in.
5) Cry. For fack's sake you're nothing more than a common wh0re after all.
Note: steps 1 and 2 are optional. Steps 3, 4, and 5 are mandatory.

Do you plan to keep the car for alot longer? If so, it might not be a bad idea to fix it. If you plan to sell it soon, you could just buy a used tranny from one of the used Japanese auto part places around the city and then sell the car.

Rep Power: 344 Hey Black_EL, you should talk to mikeweb. He's got a GSR swapped in to his car....did it himself too. Also you might want to ask Jaime (LOCO) for tips.

Rep Power: 0 ooo crappy the tranny has died..
interesting cause mine is just about dead....except mine is an auto tranny...
if I were you....like it was said before, b-series motors have droped a lot..
what I would recommend for a very affordable swap, go with a B18B LS non-vtec
Jaime aka EL_Loco can probably hook u up with a motor
