Heaps.. better off trading it in on a manual one, much cheaper.
Better still, trade up to a AU2/3 XR8 220 manual, cant go wrong. |

Conversion will set you back $2-3k depending on the amount of new parts you get, and whether you get it installed or not.
You can probably re-coup about $1k of that, from selling your Auto stuff. I have done this for an I6. Cheers

or you can take the 6spd manual option which i believe will set you back around 6-7000

You won't want to hear it but PHILSTOJ is right.
Sell and buy a manual. Will cost less for sure and yes series II better brakes engine etc. well worth it. |
