now rolling in a manual!

just got my car back today from being converted to manual and its awesome! new clutch, slave and master cylinders along with a lightened flywheel went in, and the transmission only had about 60k miles on it. the best part is that labour was only $289! i did no work at all will post some pics of my car tomorrow since i havent gotten around to doing that yet.

Re: now rolling in a manual!

thanks guys. heres my car...looks a little ruff but it has power EVERYTHING and it all works like new, no mechanical problems what-so-ever (knock on wood) 120,000 km's on engine, 80,000 on conversion parts, and 190ish on the body.



the damage on the rear is only on the bumper. fenders and everything else are fine.


seats are torn so im covering them untill i can afford new ones.

shit stains?


all stock with pod.

s14 K's r200 vlsd waiting to go in

new rear bumper, will install when i can afford a paint job


may aswell throw in my dads cars. lucky bastard. wont let me drive either of them lol i dont blame him

twin turbo legacy

76 stingray he brought with him to NZ. 350 with every bolt on i can think of

Re: now rolling in a manual!

love the silvia front... i want to do a conversion so bad hopefully after the ka is in. i found one on passwordjdm.com for 1100 shipping included... ive been thinkin about it for a week or two. those triple projectors are the balls

Re: now rolling in a manual!

whoa...1100 sounds like alot, i could probably find you all the body parts for under 300 (us dollars) AND i could get a decent amount of cash for your left over body parts if sold as a onevia conversion kit but shipping would be a bitch...that vlsd cost me 50 bucks from a friend in the silvia NZ club..most stuff is really cheap. i probably wont intstall it myself though (preload settings and lack of tools)
