Well my conversion is complete now and I've gotta say it's good to be driving a manual again. I learnt the expensive way, I don't like autos!

It's all running sweet and aside from a gap in the carpet you would never know it was auto.

All the kudos goes to my mechanics who did an excellent job and I'd recomend them to anyone in the northern beaches area looking for a reliable and trustworthy mechanic..........Mitchell brothers motorsport.....02 99054764

Cheers,

Martin

Ahh, I've heard of that stuff before.. I do believe mine was soft and fluffy once, now it smells of swamp and lines the bin at my work :lol:
