I just cant live with a manual car on a day to day basis. So decided I will let it go and replace it with another tiptronic. I cant do my 50 local miles per weekday in a manual hovering at the biting point while stop/starting in traffic. I need to get behind an auto again.

So the specs are:
Recently converted from auto to manual (thanks to Nick and Richy). Drives beautifully, smooth and powerful as VR4s are. Rolling road showed 236bhp at the fly. Completely stock car. Clutch will be bled soon, just gotta get round to Nicks this week to do that. Fully Amsoiled up and serviced a few weeks ago.
96 P, Hamilton Silver, 71k on the clock but first 33k in kms then the rest in miles.
Usual Type S specification.
Only modification is the custom 2.5" twin exhaust, with SIX silencers. Real stealth car, hehehe.
Carbotech XP8 pads up front and braided lines all round with Super Blue.

Bonnet has leading edge rust - new bonnet can be sourced and supplied if requested (cost negotiated)
Rear bumper is slightly out of shape and catches the boot lid slightly on the left side. Spare bumper will be included, just needs fitting.
Front bumper has two holes cut from lower grille where the cold air feed was. Holes will be covered up with silver intake openings.
Driver side button panel is cracked (on door card) but a spare will be included and just requires fitting.

The carbon dash set, stereo and my newest EVO8 alloys are not included. EVO7 alloys will be included (the multispoke ones).

Pics will be uploaded shortly but for the most part, pics can be found in my gallery and in a few of my other threads (which I will link to shortly)

Anyway, I'm looking for reasonable offers for a manual VR4 in decent condition. We know what they are are worth, and having just spent £1200+ last week on converting the gearbox, I'm not too chuffed to sell but I just need an auto for my day-to-day driving.
Will consider part-ex or swaps for an auto Legnum.

If only my plans of getting practical runner and my Mazda was sold, otherwise since I am in Brum I would have snatched this from you! Cause if Nick has fettled with this it must be good from what I hear!

Grr.. why can I sell the GT and get a Space Star.. then when I get a Leggy the drive will be a full Mitsi affair ^_^ The I can stick a sign up on the drive saying Mitsubishi parking only :p

Not looking to split parts as its just gonna cost me more. I just want a tiptronic in similar condition as mine.

I could have gone for an auto box change when I got the work done, but I felt the better option was to go manual. If I didnt like it, the car would hopefully be more saleable (sp?) and desireable as a manual for someone else.

Doh, is that what Kyle meant? I read that as just for the gearbox...

In any case, pitslayer's car seems to cause him lots of grief so I probably wouldnt go for a swap (no offence meant Kyle).
