yea autos suck

 

LOL ya if its a automatic youll never feel a difference... tho the butt dyno will fell like it but run some numbers and it doesnt.LOL my 99was a auto and thats why i sold it, it was just to slow after owning a 5speed manual.
the auto tranny holds back quite a bit of power expetialy when the motors only got about 120hp so any loss in power sucks already. now put that 120hp on a tranny that you can fully control and it feels good performance wise. tho still not a race car. i got beat by alot of people in the civic doing stop light quick starts. i tried to keep them from getting infront of me at this construction area in town and i seemed to always loose. but now with my truck i got the power and pure size to hold my own and keep them from getting infront of me. and if that still fails.... ill blast my semi air horn and freak em out real good LOL

 

yeah but there is little things you can do like upgrade the headers, cat and catback, maybe even do a mini me swap, those arent to pricey. for performance, you can lower your car, it will help keep you at a better center of gravity, you can take turns better and stuff, plus it looks sexxy as hell lol. but yeah, cheap cars aint fast, fast cars aint cheap.

 

header, man, header. There is one.

 

it still isnt gonna make it a race car but it helps a lil..

 

yeah i didnt really think there was anything i could do more than the exhaust or headers. just wanted to make sure. thanks for the advice everyone.

 

np, just save the money and do a bigger job

 

Trust mentioned the "header" because you said "headers". On our 4 cylinder engines, there is only one of them.

 

how expensive is it to turn it into a stickshift?

 

like 500 i think, it all depends on how much u can get a tranny for.

lol i know its only one header, i talk different lol
