errgh... as if go manual... more effort, less speed, more breakable parts and crappier launch capibillities... It does look good tho.. however, its the wrong color for a BT1... close, but not right... also, i'd be a bit worried about the 288,000km.. And as if he's never boosted it past 10psi.. with all that gear, I'd have run it at 15 daily... Nice looking, but not worth the money in my oppinion...

Fella said he would seperate the car for $12, 000. I preffer manuals wayyy more for the street. I dont want to drag-race it. Just want it to be a fun, powerful car. Auto's are nowhere near as fun as driving a manual. Motor has been rebuilt, and im pretty sure it hasn't been past 10.. Hopefully anyway

mick: great price.. should sell... (If i hadnt just bought the VL-T 2 months ago, i'd buy it..) Brett: If you want an auto to be "fun" get a stage 3 shift kit, full manual valve body and a 3000/3500 converter.. then you have to do all the shifts yourself, without the hassle of having a clutch. You can chirp 2nd and 3rd, you can launch from lights like a ****head, get to full boost faster than you can push out a ****... and you wont go through clutches like baby's go through nappies... also, with an auto you can get remote start fitted.. way cool.

Im not a slack driver :P AND apart from the money factor of doing that, its just like driving a normal automatic, using 1, 2, 3 and drive? I dunno, Im just a manual lover. If I ever got serious about racing though I MAY change my mind and spent a ****load on a good auto. With my 1st year apprentice wage at ergon atm, I cant see that happening until maybe another 2 years -- IF I wanted to swap to auto.
