Should The Stag get a manual conversion?

Fark no!

Yer lets put in a box that makes the car slower... Makes total sence. You'll never smash gears in your Neanderthal cog swap box as fast as you will with a tricked up auto, go and see a good auto place (I used a&t in toowoomba and they were excellent) and get a good firm shift kit set up with a small stall converter (or a large one, I personally now wish I put in a 4g converter). Now line up the gear monkeys and laugh your ass off as you leave them in your wake (yes that is a boat joke)

Come for a drive in my car, you'll never want a dirty flat capper box ever again...

Unless of course he wants to go around a corner then he will be much slower. It's all about application padawan.

Traffic is always shit in Brisbane. I get so fed up with idiots doing 10-20 below or not moving into the centre of the intersection when they have the chance. I kind of want to install a cow catcher so I can just plough the f**kers out of the way. I has a little bit of road rage.

I heard about that on the news Ants. Pretty Ghay. Felt sorry for you for a moment til I looked up and realised that I too was stuck in traffic because some numb nut rammed someone up the ass on Anzac avenue.

well my wife left Brisbane around 5:45pm and she's still not home.

Yes we'll.... The more Ie been around well built autos the more see the inadequacies of the manual box, especially when put side by side with my manulised auto

You do not have a lot of track experience so I am going to cut you some slack here. ..but a manual box plays a critical role in how you set up a car for a corner that an auto can not replicate. And I have driven a gear box just like yours before and have experienced how it works.

Tip is good for this. From what i can ascertain, he's seeking a big fat cruiser with grunt. A manual box doesn't fit the application.

Eggxackery. I was disagreeing with Nicks stance of I have an auto therefore it is better for everything.

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
