I drive a 98 rs and I am turning it into a show/race car. The bad part though is it is an auto. I want to know what I can do to overcome the Auto curse and make my car a beast. Any advice would help thanks.

In the wiki there is a article for swapping the car to MTX.

Quite a few have done it, including a guy local to me.

As for the engine, start searching and browse the wiki. All kinds of info!

Ya know, having an auto car for a "race car" isn't the worst thing. In fact if you can get past the "my friends think i'm a loser because my car isn't a stick" having an automatic in a drag car is relatively a good thing. Now depending on what kinda power you have, the tranny would need upgrades. Converting to a manual transmission is a lot of work. It's up to you whether or not your skill is up to par. A lot of guys i track with have converted there manual cars to automatics. This is rather easy compared. First things first though, with an NA car...you gotta let her breathe.

oh, and I guess I shouldn't have assumed it would be a drag car. Sorry for that.
