So opinionated

hehe,nah I have just grown with my car,with the auto gearbox.Since I Calibrated the voltage on the TPS the car FREELY REVS.Just Brilliant.

Have you calibrated your TPS

Hmmm,great question.

Having the TPS calibrated could be the deciding factor!

the feel of a manual cant be compared with an auto, you dont have any control of how fast u shift with an auto , you cant launch your car , no double clutching, no rev matching etc

its night and day breeza with honda transmissions
manual compared to the auto

Auto's are warm and Manual's are cool ?

auto gearbox is quite more complicated , takes more engine power to rotate , weighs more and will not make the same peak power as a manual gearbox.

but if you are lazy and cant be bothered shifting its great !

Nope,ya can't do any of that but I have certainly learnt to control the acceleration/gear changes to some degree,you can never fully control it but I was never one to control something,more one who goes with the flow!

The auto has just grown on me,I truely love it.But that's mostly after calibrating the voltage on the TPS!

It gave me acceleration back

hahah breeza imagine if you had a manual with the b18c
how much you would enjoy it then
and when you calibrate the voltage on the tps

your half way there just need to install it but

still interested to see what the stage 2 cams would make on the d series

I was up till 3am contemplating either a b18c stock or a cam in the d.

I decided a cam in the d.

I'm over spending money on my car.It came down to a decision of lifestyle or a faster car.With a lack of money,2 points left and too many police out there.

I'm not even that psyched to do the cam,but I will just go for a stage 1 cam for $400.Bugger spending $1200.That's with valvetrain upgrade and tune.

Stage 1 it is!
