the cost of converting may be costly.

the current market price of your accord + the money that is going to be used to convert your accord = 2nd hand 2003 accord euro

Lots of info on the US forums.

Do you have an I4 accord? It would probably be easier to sell the auto and buy a manual.

No i still own a 5th gen, but i really like the latter model except for the fact that i havnt come across a manual one. Did they come out in manual?

I've driven a 2000 Accord I4 manual in NZ. Didn't enjoy it one bit. The V6 is auto only.

It's heavy, not as fast even though it had more HP. And you sat very high up compared to the 5th gen.

The 5th gen fits like a glove compared to the 6th gen.

Raz (although the 6th gen looks mint done up IMO)

You're thinking of getting a 6th Gen Accord I take it?

I believe Australia didn't get a manual option for the 6th Gens. So if you were to do a manual conversion, you might have to search outside Australia for a manual 6th Gen Accord and that's where the cost will be IMHO.
