Just be prepared for the transmission to die on you, if it hasnt been previously replaced. I have gone through two of the tiptronics (one per car), and am now running a 6speed manual after conversion.

My work in progress...





Sorry guys i was refering to this car

+1 on the transmission problems... Reverse drum blew. "while im in there" it also needs $400 rear main seal, torque converter, and steering rack. Its been so long I almost forgot how boring Japanese cars are. Maybe worth a second look (sigh).
