Default Anybody down to trade Tc's with me?

2005 auto CS tc. Ive always wanted a manual and when i first got my car they only had the auto, well i really needed a car so i went with it. And i dont know its just me but i get bored driving my tc now. So i guess i am going to see if its common or if im just crazy.

Could always trade it in on a new 5spd... I really doubt you'd get anyone to actually "trade" with you since most people who would want to trade are like you... auto, looking for 5spd.

I thought of it and the only regret i have is that i didnt do it 2weeks after i bought that another dealership got them in. And till this day i know its going to be a hassle. But i cant get another one cause my next ride is the GMC Yukon xl. I always wanted a white Tc manual. Lol So im not crazy then huh daffy

patience is a virtue.

you should just do a 5spd swap.

if your almost done paying it off just pay it off, take whatever parts you have (if you have any) off of it, sell it privately (youll get more $ that way) and walk into the dealer with a fat stack of cash to use on an 09 manual.

if you do want to do a conversion, ill tell you right now, its gonna be a paint sourcing all the little parts, youll prob have to get alot of them from the dealer which means big $.

if your really handy with cars you can have the swap done in a 3 days weekend. (fri night, all day sat and sun.)

The thing is that i dont want to pay anything out of my pocket. Besides not alot of the cars out today catch my eye. and if they do they are the ones that are like a house payment! lol. But then again what other nice fast car is there?

Nah I'm over the whole 4cyl thing. If I could find a reasonably priced MKV R32 then I'd consider that.

Lol yeah i just noticed that i messd up. I meant that i was bored and if anybody was doing anything last nite near those citys.

But about the Adaptors thanks, i want to make my wheels look flush but the offset is a 45. A spacer is way to thin to even make a diff.
