Because the cost wouldn't be worth it. Will cost a few grand to get it converted, plus tuned.

Yeah true. I'll look into it more. Maybe converting will be cheaper in the long run. I'm going to be doing the BA up quite a bit, so once converted I will probably keep it.

I'm not saying its a bad thing to not know how, and by having a go is a great way to learn. But if your unsure and get stuck, then there will be an extra cost to having it completed. I'm not the best to be honest. I've lived a pretty sheltered life before I started working lol was more into sports and music than cars. But like you said, great way to learn. I have a mad that would probably do it if I supplied enough piss for him to sink

Are u planning on getting a better car once your off your p's? if so i think the best way for u to go is either putting up with ur xt for a couple more years then getting as much as u can for a trade in or... sell it private for the best u can (the price the other guys have been saying) and get yourself a manual e series and do a few mods with the money u make and then when the time comes trade that in.

I should be able to provide some valuable assistance on it.

Keeping the XT for the time being. Will do a manual conversion, once I have the cash. Buying a little 4cyl s**t sometime this week to putt around the city in so I can save more on fuel (being $1.50p/l at the moment....
 )
