hey i've been shopping around for a gsx and i foudn a sweet deal on a gsx painted all nice and an upgraded turbo with lots of nice work on the engine but there is one HUGE problem. It is an automatic and i was looking for manual. is it expensive to make the switch from auto to manual? i want to know if it is even worth it.

Not that big of a deal if you have money and time. Should cost less than 1500. (I think)

yeah or i could just buy a manual gsx instead of an auto. even though there is a good amount of money into this one, another will come along.

well are you doing the work? or are you going to take it to a shop and make them do the auto to manual conv? and how much extra do you think they will charge? hmm..

O if it is a shop then it will be a shit load. Just wait for the manual.

Actually how much are you looking to spend... I think I saw a gsx the other day sitting in a parking lot. It had some stuff done to it. I dunno if it was a manual or not. I will find out monday or tuesday.

I live in Novi.
The car looked nice, it was like a metallic burgandy, I personally liked the color.

I am going to pull this number totally out of my ass and say around 2000 for labor.

yeah that's ridiculous. i just want a gsx with turbo upgrade and fuel ingectors. i would really like larger pistons, but that is something i can live without.

i think i would aslo settle for a highly upgraded gst, it's just hard to find deals on these cars.
