Re: What should i do??

Re: Has anyone done a automatic -> manual swap?

no...it was an example of a person who put a turbo on his car and the auto didn't hold up. it was probably the combination of the turbo and his driving style. no, its not a very good idea, but you can do it.

Re: Colored driving bulbs.....

ummm.....lay off the acid? the blue bulb is gonna make the housing look a little bit blue, but there's no way it could still make it blue even when you take it out, unless the bulbs broke inside and left some blue glass or something.

Re: need a teacher

18's with thinner sidewalls will have less tire roll, but onless you get super-light wheels the turn-in won't be as quick. as far as suspension brands to go with, bilstein makes great shocks, and H&R make good springs, but i personally have never used eaither of them on my mx-3 so don't take my ...
