Hey, I\'m Mike, I\'ve very little experience with rotaries (had an fd3s for a couple of months about 4 years ago) but I\'m entertaining the concept of buying an fc convertible with a knackered auto box and converting it to manual so signed up so I can do a bit of research into whether it\'s a viable job...
 
I currently have 2 dailys (Leon TDI and Laguna), 2 civics (1 track, 1 fast road), and an AM V8 as a long term resto. The Laguna will be sold soon so I\'m after a convertible to take up the space it\'ll leave, and I fancy an rwd car as I don\'t have one til I complete the conversion on the fast road civic
 
Anyways, hi to you all, look forward to picking your brains for info and hopefully becoming an fc owner in the near future!

You\'ll need a manual box, clutch, pedal box, slave/master cylinder,  reverse light switch. Thats All I can think of for now but all in all not too major of a job if you\'ve got the time.
