Default I know this is TampaRACING...but

I have a 91 hatch a daily driver with an AUTO tranny. i am not a racer but do enjoy PERFORMANCE when needed.

I tried to get a b18a1 and auto tranny. it would not fit, the tranny was too fat for the engine bay

I had to go with a d15 mini swap out of a CRX and put back the hx auto tranny.

This is a real fun car to drive BUT, I would still like more UuUumphh... Is there anything I can do with either the Tranny or the Engine to get better PERFORMANCE???

Keep in mind that this is daily driver, I would like to keep it stable and very dependable.

feel free to make any comments and or jokes!!!

check it out?!?!

A swap wouldn't be bad but in all honesty get another car that's manual with v-tec. You'll save yourself some time, $, and a headache. Good Luck man.

yes the seats are toyo...

Regarding the tranny the low end gears suck azz when the AC is on. THere has to be a solution.

I say go for it. Automatic cars with turbos are true sleepers on top end.
