Well went into the wreckers today to look for a manifold to polish up for bling factor and low and behold there was a V6 manual 5 speed with everything needed.

i asked how much and he said..... $440.... so i put the deposit down..:woot:

Now i just need to tell the missus.:kb:

Conversion time or just drive the whole car?

Congrats, Manual rocks :d

Nah conversion.... pick and payless @ penrith...

gunna fit myself. gunna clean it up first. might do a tuffy treatment and paint the box silver... lols

Quick question... do i need the cv shafts aswell...?

Will do....

Oh and repost do i need the CV shafts aswell?

Halfshaft (IIRC) is longer...I would throw in $50 more and grab both driveshafts JUST to be sure.

Check Deanimus' thread for parts needed...

Thanks tuffy.... he did say all parts ill hit him up! lol.

My wifes car was shipped from Bris to Syd for $170, back in 2001 - it might cost more if they can't drive it onto and off the truck though :)

probably not worth it as a friend just bought a toyota sora from Melbourne to Atherton for $1100
i live about an hour inland from Cairns.

Or maybe it should say:

probably not worth it as a friend just brought a Toyota Sera from Melbourne to Atherton for $1100
i live about an hour inland from Cairns.

???
At least my wife's car is a Toyota Sera, so it must be more likely.

Brisbane to Sydney was cheaper than the Sydney to Brisbane when we did it, because the trucks are empty on the south bound route - no demand, low price. :)
