thanks a lot for all of the help guys... im looking into getting a d16y8... yes im pawn3d by my g/f but thats a fact of life for me and ive come to terms with that... i didnt want to go the mini me route b/c it sounds like too much of a headache when you can swap the whole engine out for a newer one and i think that it would be a hell of a lot more reliable also... how much of a difference will i see between getting si or zc tranny and sticking with the stock d16y8 tranny? thanks a lot for all the help
