if it helps you any...65% of all turbo cars in japan are automatic. lots of pretty fast cars that are auto/turbo. i would do it.

Well ---- fellas, thanks for educating me, if I would have known I could convert to manual for $300 I would have done that before I bought anything for the turbo because driving an auto ------ sucks. My friend thats going to WyoTech can help me, but if anyone knows where a decent write up or something is, it would be tons of help too.

The car is in perfect condition with 80k miles on it, theres no way I'll be able to find a car that nice for the price I'll get for selling it. It also has all of my stereo stuff installed in it already and I don't want to pull it all back out, I've had the car for less than a year.

all the better for the selling. say you get 5-6 grand out of this car. buy an old manual eg hatch or an ef for 1-2k and all of the other ---- you want and still have some (oh ----) money in the bank. oh ---- money for parts and motors is pricless when you need it.
