    Transform a '93 5 SPD. LX to an EX.

    If I went out and purchased a 1993 5 SPEED LX blk. w/ tan interior, what parts would I have to put on to make it an EX or SE? You know suspension, ecu, etc., what parts? Please a complete list would greatly help. Thanks.

    Motor: F22A6. Alternatively, you could swap in an A6 IM, cam and exhaust manifold (the A4 tubular header design is best). PT6 ecu.

    Wheels: 15" alloys

    Brakes: convert to rear disc. ABS.

    Suspension: rear sway bar.

    Interior: Leather (standard SE only, optional in others). LX and EX interiors are pretty much the same.

    Appearance: front lip spoiler

        You'd need to cut a hole in the roof, too


        OR, you could just drive it to Canada. Instant EX!

          What he said. Just buy an EX or SE if you want one that bad. They dont cost that much nowadays anyway.

                  Finding anything with no rust in our area is tough... It's easier to find a black 5 speed 4 door than a coupe, so at least you have that working for you!

                    Find a nice 93 EX 5 spd and paint it black... That way you have the luxury of the EX in the color you want.

                    Sold, but not forgotten.

                      Good ideas. Only problem is I see many 5 spd. blk coupes, and not the sedans. Ans to paint a car a different color takes like 3-5 grand. Ouch.

                        Good point. I got lucky and found a sedan 5 speed w/ low miles, cali car, EX model.

                        Sold, but not forgotten.
