He who dies with the most debt wins!
I am still not convinced
Parts Manual
Gearbox $1000
Interior New $900 (thats what it has cost Beastin)
New clutch $530 good for 300rwkw
s/hand flywheel $100
Pedal, master slave and line r33 gtst $400
R33 handbrake $50
Thats $2980
Plus any extra's maybe $300-500
I can do all the labour myself which is a bonus
Or add $1000 for labour
Computer does not need to be changed
Auto option
Rebuild as Alex quoted $4500 (issume this includes fitting in the car aswell?)
Resale
Convert the car back to auto, sell the manual conversion for $2500
or
Pull the rebuilt auto out which is now s/hand sell for maybe $2000-2500
Computer
Manual option you can now fit a Power FC better tuning
Auto option you are stuck with the factory computer and a piggyback computer which will cost approx the same as fitting a Power Fc to a manual.
So the numbers are very similar, but the benfits for a manual are greater
Alex
You were worried about wasting your money and not getting it back
Do not modifiy your car, that is the only was to loose the minimum when you sell it.
Anyone want to buy my tiptronic anchor
