The waiting is driving me nuts!!!

My automatic is still under a plastic tarp sitting beside the car, and I'm stuck waiting to find out if an SR20 manual is available... it is driving me NUTS!!!

What do you guys think? I'm stuck with having to haul my engine out, and I decided... might as well... and asked for an SR20 conversion. Unfortunately, they want to do an auto to auto swap... but the gas bills would drive me up the wall!.. I'm hoping to get a manual, but my car is pretty comfy (all leather, sunroof, etc...), would a conversion f*k up my interior?

i think all theyd have to do is cut the hole for the clutch and maybe a bit of modding for the shifter

that's hopeful. actually, i'm probably going over to my uncle after it's all done to have the interior refurbished... that svelte felt on the floors and ceiling is getting ratty, and i want to change it for some nice fabric and maybe leather for the roof (he has an upholstery shop...

)

I finally got the A-OK for the manual conversion... An SR20 AND a manual! I'm planning to move into the garage and sleep there till it's done...

I'm sorry, my little GA, i loved you. We've killed many-a-civic together, but now i'm growing up... :-(
