I am itching to drive a manual car, so i have been thinking about doing a conversion on my auto to a manual.

Its an EG VTI, so what would the costs be in getting a manual conversion?
Any suggestions on any work shops to get this done in the Sydney area?

Or would it be better to buy a manual civic rather then doing a conversion?

yep... costs will outweigh the cost of selling ur car and buying a manual one straight up...

prob will cost half of what u can sell the car for now :)

if u have considered doin a manual conversion have u considered engine conversion ?

its prolli more cost efficient to do the engine conversion over just a manual conversion + u mite get a better engine in ur car? that is if u want to keep ur car..
