Some Help Please

[Vlad95]

Hey guys, right now im lookin at buying a R32 gtst (probably a 4 door due to budget restrictions). Now i had a look at a couple from Yahoo Motorsport and i liked them. However, beofre i go bore John V. to hell, i thought i'd ask for some advice:

1. How much is auto to manuel conversion on a r32 gtst 4 door. (average price for everything, to buy the transmision and to pay a mech. to do it)

2. How easily do they get through regency (easier to do b4 mauel conversion?).

3. How much is it to go through regency (approx.) - im hoping it can be done under $1200.

4. Anything else you think is important b4 i make a descision.

Thanks heaps.

manual conversion in mechanics would cost thousands and not to mention it will definatly cost you 1200 to comply.

just spend that couple of grand on a better car!

All the manuels are sold on Yahoo Motorsport, and im not a big fan of buying imports b4 i can actually see them and inspect them.

Would you consider a 33 (not the one in my avtar).

Do you have to go manual? my 33 is an auto with a modified valve body and as many on the SA forum can contest it is no slouch. (through the hills or on a straight road)

I agree, If your limited to cash, prob better to get something already here and complied, that way you wont get any other unexpected expenses.

getting the car ready for regency can be done for $900ish or even less if you do the work your self and just get it signed off. My man conv cost me $1450 including gearbox through FBI buying a auto 32 is the way to go as they are usually (in my case anyway) in better mechanical condition. However make sure you look the car over very well! i.e under the car as well for rust and damage

Seriously, as others have said, buy one that is already registered in SA.

Will be cheaper in the long run, even if you have to wait a little longer to get the cash together.
