I would have purchased one, however, after much use I wasn't sure how long it would be until I needed a new clutch etc. Don't even ask mention power shifting. Yeah the manual is faster but for Me longevity in the manual would cost Me more than the automatic, as I would probably wear out the clutch and have tor replace soon.

We have people driving the crap out of their 86's on the track, auto x, and some drag strips and none have had to replace their axles or trans lol. You're also talking as if you have to replace the clutch like an oil change or something, and even if you did have to change the clutch, they're like $600 which is less than the up mark on the price of automatics as opposed to the manuals

and don't get me wrong I would probably enjoy the automatic just as much as I enjoy the manual, just my .02, but to each their own!

In descending order... my best bang for the buck mods!


Open Flash Tablet (get your tune on!, by far the best mod)

Open Flash Header (sweet mother!, burbling goodness, say bye bye dip!!!)

Magnaflow CBE (Deep and mellow at idle and race car at wot )

Eibach ProKit Lowering Springs (increased handling, decent stance/drop)

Enkei Fujin Wheels - 18x8 (wider rubber all round, increased handling)

K&N Drop/In (improved air flow, noticeable intake wail/sound)

Sound Tube Delete (Using 12v cover from glove box)



Altogether I'm around $2600 in mods... well satisfied . (forgot to add cost of tires!)

Had the car shipped this way from the factory they could be no real complaints from anyone save the haters who hate everything. Car handles and performs so well now... my original desire to Force Induct is all but gone.

Front Lip or Deck Lid Spoiler. Cheap and changes the look of the car dramatically.

Thanks for that response!! I didn't learn that until recently.

I actually had one of my precious and previous cars tuned. I asked this tuner last year if I could rent out the dyno to change individual air filters to see which one made the most power on my new car. He said he has been doing this along time, and air filters won't do that or it would be very, very rare... 5-6 hp increase with an airfilter...come on Test like that make me lose trust in particular sales strategies from now on...What next 8-10 hp from a catback
