Had the sportstronic on my eclipse....it isn't that great and the hookups from the sensors to get the sportstronic to work prevented a lot of people from doing simple things like adding a cold air intake...so not a great idea...just get a manual...Be careful if you think it can handle the power. Are you basing this off the turboed japanese models? if so you might want to read the specs more being that they have the same horsepower turboed as ours do stock. Don't want to break you bubble on this one...just don't want you to get all gung ho on this and find out it won't work. Granted also the sportstronic is fun and an easy way to learn the shifting of the gears (thats actually how I learned before getting my manual mr2 spyder and now the manual ralliart) it is not as quick as a manual I found (delay in shift) and you do lose power because of the special setup.

My friend did her Civic EP3 Hatchback and I think it ran her about 3.6 grand or something after the install.

Her hatchback runs 13.585 in a quarter mile at 107. And keep in mind that is a girl driving...

No offense ladies
