thats the route i was considering, its just, i am the least practical person ever and the things i get done, i get done by a garage... i cant decide whether it wud be financially worth it, gettin a garage or someone to do it.

lol well i bought mine as an auto 16 months ago for £2800, with the intention of converting it straight away. I have now sourced all the parts needed and reckon it cost me about £500ish for all the parts and hopefully wont cost more than £500 to get it done (pete @ autofixed said he is willing to do it)

But i havent really had much time to be without a car, so havent got round to it and have started to mod it anyway. Im running 15psi, rrfpr, fuel pump, decat, intercooler and got to say even tho its an auto its rapid

ive got a full td04 kit waiting to get put on aswell, but i really want it manual'd before i do that.

as an auto it is great and so easy, thats whats made me lazy and not get it converted, but do think it takes away alot of the driving experience and top end

Ditto on a fair bit of that - i bought my last starlet (auto) because it was cheap and freshly built, and i think its gay how people give them hard times, i LOVED it, SO easy and lazy to drive, (i do a LOT of miles and appreciated it greatly)

as always, its up to you mate, it takes some getting used to, but i would deffo not knock back a GT because it was an auto!

start modding it, see how it goes, and if you're not happy, get it converted :)

Heres a great guide and step by step on converting, with all required parts :) http://www.tercelreference.com/articles/auto_manual_conversion/auto_manual_conversion.html

hey! i didnt go out to buy an auto or a manual or even a glanza, my mate was selling the glanza and i tested it and loved the auto! the fact it just kept boost and was easy to drive like a go kart, but yer i miss changing gears etc.
i think i may kep her and start to mod n decide from there... i guess :)

Gregor are you still going to go through with the conversion now youve got all the parts?

cantbeassed - who are you? lol
