turncoat Member 6 Member For: 16y 4m 23d Posted 30/06/09 03:05 AM Share Posted 30/06/09 03:05 AM After owning a VX Late model camira berlina v6 auto for the last year, I am finally rid of it. Sure it wasn't the worst of cars, but It was far from fun to drive.Now Im looking for a new set of wheels, and have wanted an xr6 turbo since they first came out!Anyways, Im after a manual; and in my price bracket the only option seems to be the 5speed :( So I was thinking... I get a nice healthy tax return in a months time; If I get an auto or t5 for around 14,000 I can have some fun with her till I have the money to change it over to a t56! How much would it cost me to go from a 4sp or t5 to a t56? And would one cost more then the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T5's are a timebomb, hardly capable behind a EF N/A 6, and T56 conversions cost an absolute fortune that you will never get back unless the box is removed & sold before you sell the car :tosser: Edited 30/06/09 03:14 AM by Man-Pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old car was on its way out, so I had no choice but to sell. I planed to keep the Late model camira till I had $20,000 to spend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can beef them up, convertor etc.. And they're quicker than manuals too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
