dennis, i felt the same way wit my Accord wagon.. i wanna drop a H22A and convert it to manual.. i really wanted to do it because its rare u wont see accord wagon any where u go..doing the motor swap and auto to manual conversion will be a thing because its an upgrade from what you have.. But the question is that are you gonna do it all your self or somebody gonna do it for you? because labour will kill you.. and one of the reason ppl do engine swap and gear box swap is to learn how to do it.. a project.. there will be a lot of money involve in this process.. plus u will loose a daily car unless u have a daily car.. so u can leave ur teg jacked up and u have another car to go around and to pick up parts that you need. but i agree with G stick.. ITR is not that bad these days.. plus the resell value will be different even you say its has b18 jdm spec on it..

ill speak to you when i drop by..
