Yes its finally done i am in the process of converting to manual.I started on late friday afternoon had the tiptronic out in about 3 hours as well as everything else.And saturday put the manual box in and a few other bits and pieces.Today was rest day as i ran into a little problem with the wiring harness but that is all sorted now so hopefully it will be on the road by tomorrow afternoon or tuesday.So far all up its cost me $520 including everything i needed for the conversion which included the box itself.

far out thats a good price man, congrats on the conversion, im doing mine at the end of the year.

Awesome mate! conrats on doing the manual conversion yourself, and pulling it off so cheaply. Hope it all works out. You'll love the difference it makes!!!

Yeah its cheap and the box is in good condition the clutch was recently changed in it so yeah it was a good pickup it cost 400 just for the conversion kit itself the other 120 was in new seals a new key and oil and just fiddly bits so its been cheap so far.I hope all goes well for me too cant wait till its on the road

$520 thats got to be a new record!!

i rember another member had $800 cheapest manual conversion in his signature once 8hrs.... but he's been off the road longer than a repeat offender drink driver....:bowrofl: hope you conversion holds up well

Well my car has finally been converted to manual and is on the road.We had a few little problems with it along the way but that was soon sorted out.Other than that it runs great and i love it best thing i have done i think.

Hey good stuff, did you leave the auto ECU in it?

what you doin with the tripbox?

it seems the latest fashion is conversion:think:

You might say it's the new parabolic headlights lol

Awesome news!

I use to be able to get parts but could never find anyone willing to do the work.

Now I have someone that will do it for me for next to nothing but can't get the parts...

yes i cant find the parts either :(

I was lucky i guess i just must of been in the right place at the right time to get the full conversion kit for $400.I have sold the tippy already and as for the ecu the 3.0lt one would not work same as the wiring harness for some reason i had to buy a new 3.5lt manual one and a new 3.5lt manual wiring harness from the ecu to engine bay.Other than everything else is good and runs great.

Whoo hoo - that sounds great
Pretty damn cheap too :)

Why would you need to change the ECU? I still have my Auto ECU... and i have no problems.

My auto one would not period. i tried a 3.0lt manual ecu still no go so i had to get a 3.5lt manual ecu and wiring harness and it worked straight away with no problems at all as before there plugs that were totally different

Where's my drive ???

Im having trouble finding a workshop to do my conversion...Im about to give up on this ****ing car...

:confused:

Went to 3 workshops today, two said they were not interested, and one gave me a quote of $2200...and thats for LABOUR ONLY!!!
