Help! Somebody

I own a 2001 Civic LX, and unfortunatly its an automatic, does this mean my car is never going to be fast? What can i do to make it faster that doesn't cost tons of money, is there anyway i can swap the transmissions? Somebody help me please thanks.

LOL, yes. you can do a auto to manaul conversion, but it will cost you. best bet is trade your car in for a manual.

auto's on our cars rob major HP potential. It could be fast but it will probably take more work and $$$$. On the bright side if you found someone to build up the tranny your shifts would be quicker than a manual. hehe Shoulda bought a manual if u were gunna tune IMO. its cheaper and i believe its a lil lighter.

My girl can't drive stick, so rather than have her constantly F*&K up my car, I bought an Auto...it's great when I drive in NYC though...
