That does look mint! Great condition interior too....any details on spec?

Polar Performance chip fitted, plus magnex back box, and samco silicone coolant hoses. Other than that its standard.

Only cosmetic changes i want to make are clear indicators and side repeaters. Brakes could be upgraded in the future and maybe a bit more power.. But Im pretty happy with the way it looks/goes/sounds now

Snap!! Nice car.
I also have a green sa wagon, although it is now a 5 spd manual on a td05, running 280bhp!

Maybe some lower profile tyres as well?

How much hassle was the gearbox swap? have access to lifts and stuff so if its all bolt on happy days. But do you have to weld in the blutch mount?

have been toying with a tdo5 manual swap, when i have a bit more ready cash though


Oh and the tyres? Yes they are only 15" wheels so would probably stick some 17" on with new rubber when i need to change the tyres again

the box swap is a bit of a job really, if you want a manual i would definately buy a manual car, its not just the mechanical side of it. it is also the electrical side of the swap, if you know an auto electrician who has done it then it would make the job a lot easier for sure.

Im not so bad with auto electrics.. dads an electrical engineer and i been faffing bout with cars electrics since i was 17 Have broken a few things mind

Maybe i will have to look at it agian when i have some more cash

There are different ways of doing it, altering the loom for a manual, removing or bypassing the auto ecu, sorting the neutral position switch, definate new or remappable chipped ecu, reverse lights, etc..
