wth do you mean so what? I can defintiely respect the fact that you do a lot of stop and go driving, and therefore want a stick. You just wont get the same performance. Maybe its just me, but i feel out of place in an automatic car. I guess i'm just a control freak when it comes to driving.

Me too, I get bored and I feel like I should take up knitting. So I have something to do while I'm driving.

p.s. welcome to the forum!!

Hell, if you're going to do an auto to manual conversion and have $2000 why not go for a whole engine swap?.. Just get an engine with a manual and rig it up.

I think you can get B16's for $2000 right people(who know way more about this than me?)
