No worries... would like it manual...

Open to all options.

what price range are you looking at?

My personal preference is the Mazda 3 mps.

Or if you don't mind the look, a ralliart hatch(I think they're ugly).

$10,000-$16,000

I'll check out the mazda 3 MPS.

for that kind of money, I don't think you'll find the current shape.

But, the old shape flies further under the radar by having no scoop exposed and I feel as though it feels a little quicker.

You will be missing sat nav and bluetooth.

Both of which can be bought in aftermarket units on eBay for the 600 mark.

My mate with a 2004 mps bought a head unit from the US that has gps, Bluetooth, touchscreen, dvd player, etc for about $300 and it's made to fit in the dash like the stock one (made by a company that does standard shape head units as well as custom ones).

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 路 Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
