87Shelbyz_Turbo 08-03-2005 12:59 PM

Move out of Trenton!!! For the love of God, get out of there NOW before the old people EAT YOU!!!

Or, buy all the parts necessary to do a 5-speed conversion.

don't waste your money, you have a car you like with a decent system to listen to;
put the money away for a house

leeworthy 08-03-2005 01:42 PM

New car for sure.

zman 08-04-2005 05:39 PM

save up for a b20 w/a b16 5spd tranny....trust me that'll rip big time especially in your car

the whole manual switch over sucks balls big time...

i say sell and get different car. and go from there.

IntrepidGuy 08-05-2005 04:44 PM

Yes the manual switch over does suck ass. Ive done it before and its too much of a hassle.. Trying to retrofit the pedals and is the worst of it all.. Not to mention beating in the bottom of the car for the linkages to fir properly. and then finding mounts, ecu, tranny, engine and anything else that would be needed for an FI swap. Too much hassle, when you can go out and buy yourself a civic for likr under 4 Bills with less K and better looks.

dont buy a car from walbridge auto or w/e that place is called.... its ghetto

IntrepidGuy 08-05-2005 06:30 PM

LOL yeah we all know that much! hahahah. If he buys a car Ill make sure he buys it from West City, cuz yeah. Thats just me. Ill drag him there by his ears!

he dont have cash for a new car though. So we need not worry about that, as his school is his first financial priority

Sorry Im his Bro! hahaha
