dun like dat say ..... not rich lah ..... just that really fed-up with auto, so exploring options .........Originally posted by tSuYOshi:both -_- i tink drivin style can be changed. car -_- u talkin abt the gear box everything. i tnk most of the car had to be changed leh -_-. rich sia.
my view : since OMV is only ard $13,000, dun tell me the gear system wld actually cost half of the total cost os a car ??

When u step on the accelerator, does your car move? if yes, then wads so bad about the transmission? wad u cannot stand? -
more of a personal preference lahOriginally posted by HENG@:dunno wads so bad about it? here let me ask u a simple question:
When u step on the accelerator, does your car move? if yes, then wads so bad about the transmission? wad u cannot stand? ........lack of control and response ..... have been driving manual cards b4 this, but cos mum wanted to share ride with me( and of cos contributed some $$$), I had to get an auto ....... 
-
what control u lack? wad response? u mean the car runs away from u when u least expect it? or it refuses to move when u step on the gas? really, i cannot fanthom whats lack of control and response u're talking about? or maybe u need it to race n the road? oh in case u haven't noticed, yest nite a hell lot of moddified cars were caught........Originally posted by othello:lack of control and response ..... have been driving manual cards b4 this, but cos mum wanted to share ride with me( and of cos contributed some $$$), I had to get an auto ....... -

lack of response --> when want to change lane or overtake, there is a time lag from the time step on gas to time car actually accelerates loh ...
and this actually makes me "feel" i have less control over the car .....
i'm sure you have driven both auto & man cars b4 right .... but anyway, its really a matter of own preference lah ... -
btw u mentioned your mom sharing car with u... would u inconvenience your own mother just to satisfy your desire to drive an auto car? spare the lady a thought...

Are you? Do u do illegal racing?

thats the issue actually, she hardly drives the car now ............ thats why i am comtemplating abt changing to manual gear. if cost is too prohibitive, then no choice save up $$ to buy car in future loh ......Originally posted by HENG@:btw u mentioned your mom sharing car with u... would u inconvenience your own mother just to satisfy your desire to drive an auto car? spare the lady a thought... -
tts why i said its up to personal preference ........ pardon me heng, i came in here to ask a honest qns and to express my honest views. somehow i feel u are treating me like a boy-racer who cant wait to change to a manual car so he wants to go racing at night....qns that you posed to me isnt that nice......... i respect everyone's opinions. its like buying cars, some pple like toyota, some pple dun like. to pple who dun like, i dun go ard asking wats wrong with the car ..... its really onw's personal preference. and i happen to not like driving an auto car for the time being....... maybe next time got more $$ then get one 2.0 L auto car ... he he heOriginally posted by HENG@:i have driven both yes. and i feel no diff. when i want to overtake, just go heavy on the right foot. most auto cars will detect your input and downshift accordingly. anyways the lag is not even a second long, so i dun think thats much grounds for any complaint, unless like i said, u're in an illegal race.

then heres what i suggest. bear with the car for a while more. then get rid of it when its less damaging on your wallet to do so, and get a manual car. Maybe your mom hardly uses it anymore, but she might still use it. she DID chip in $$$ so bear with it. Anyways, there are lots of side issues which may arise from you doing a conversion. seems to me to be a really expensive way to tackle a problem based on feeling alone.

yeah, tts wat i was tinking oso ... i actually wanted to have a feel of how $$ it wld cost .... asked around my friends abt that, but no one had actually known of anyone who did that conversion......Originally posted by HENG@:then heres what i suggest. bear with the car for a while more. then get rid of it when its less damaging on your wallet to do so, and get a manual car.

i know of one workshop which does dat at around 6k but it is subjected to LTA's approval ... u will need a permit to do so .. and trust me the wait is about 6mths(the last time my friend did it dunno now) and if i am not wrong you will need a lawyer to write in to give supporting reason for the conversion ... and of course .. for some cars, depands on what car u are driving, needs the whole front to be changed to a Manual configuration and installation of the clutch and changing the speedo and the drive train ... ya .. u can say its a hole in ur pocket dude ... so please give a 2nd thought on it ..
I am driving an Auto tranny Sunny now ... i only drive that during leisure or to work, when i am really in the rush i will take my dad's GLi Manual to run for it ... but to me ... its still the same .. except one is 1.5 and the other is 1.6 so abit the power difference .. but other then that i still prefer auto ... at the end of the day it boils down to wad u say ... personal preference ya
