hi all,

 

the problem: I bought a uk tt AUTO about 4 months ago, this was my second choice after spending about 6 months trying to find a uk manual (fooking immpossible to find!!?) with no luck, the car i got is :woot: :D , its in lovely nik! its got immac service history, storm blue crm leather, a1 condition, 60k, everything i was after.... apart from its the auto :violin:

 

just wondering what the score is with converting to a manual box :ecstatic:

costs/problems etc?............ will the ecu need to been changed? does trc work the same on auto/manaul.

 

your thought pls. people

 

cheers!

Ouch thats lot of money, and thats even before labour. Id keep the car as it is, keep many eyes out for a manual then buy that and sell yours. I understand its in good nik but there are still plenty of suitable ones out there for you and it would save your car being off the road for months and save you a great deal of money as well. Just think youd be spending prob 7-8k with labour included and it probably wouldnt add 1k to the value of the car.

:scare: didn't realise a manual change would cost so much!, i was thinking it would be more along the 2.5-3k mark?? :shrug: , thats that idea out the window!

 

ill always got my eye out for a maual uk :eyebrows: , most aropund have got over 100k on the clock though? (im after 60-70k) the red suup in the prervious thread is exactly what i would be after, but it comes with a hefty price tag! 13k??

 

time to play supra waiting game......one will turn up... i hope..?

Course it will mate. Sometimes you just have to be patient. I was desperate for a UK 6spd TT as well but im not a patient person at all so when a decent J-spec one turned up i got that instead. Must admit though if the right UK one came along id sell mine and buy the UK. Drops my insurance by half!!!
