[Kirton]

Ian may have been interested, but I just noticed it's an Auto :glance:

 

[paddymarsden]

i bet it still shifts like poo of a shovel tho

 

[Titch]

Moist - but its an Auto

 

[Ian]

almost jumped for joy, til i saw the autobox.

 

[rallybunny]

OMG, that is beautiful....if only this was in about a year's time.

 

[D4R73N]

Sounds great...but an automatic...

 

[Napster]

that is LUSH!!
do you know the "BHP" of it?

 

[ricardo_swarez]

The around 165bhp standard I think front wheel drive, shame its auto but dont think its that big a deal, alot of supras are auto and they are stupid fast.

 

[Stuart]

Why are you guys so scared of an auto?

 

[Ian]

The around 165bhp standard I think front wheel drive, shame its auto but dont think its that big a deal, alot of supras are auto and they are stupid fast.

bit high there, they are 133bhp on high boost. Auto just isnt my cup of tea, but i hear toyota auto boxes are great

 

[m1ck97]

Looks great, shame its an auto though. Im sure its easy enough to convert it to manual?

 

[Ian]

where would you source a manual box? I wouldnt have a clue myself, then how much do you pay for it and fitting? :s

 

[Raceworx]

this thing shift trust me iv watched it race a tyoe-R on the motorway and wipe its arse on it lol.. even gave an unsuspecting boxter a fright! if i had the cash id buy it as i know paul and its a spot on car the yellow jap sticker on the back is cool! a manual box can be goten cheap anyway if your that botherd.. its a steal!

 

[Titch]

Surely it'd be a #### load of work to convert it?
Minited though

 

[ricardo_swarez]

Ian- Ye i was looking on import websites, there all 165-200bhp on the import sites, I figured the 200bhp were the modified and the 165 were the standard. Just checked it out this is the spec..

[tommo]

as raceworx said, dont let the auto box put you off.

believe what you want but according to a few glanza owners auto's are better than manuals....

 

[59 bhp is more than enough]

yeah i understand it would be as quick but dont you think it takes the fun out of driving it a bit, especially as its a performance car. very nice though and if it was a manual i would be very tempted

 

[paddymarsden]

yea i agree with you mike, having a manual is 80% of the fun of driving
