    Why is everyone so against autos and wanting to convert to manual ?
    If your gonna convert to manual , do it properly and get an o2m , the 02a is a weak gearbox .
    Only reason I see why Auto's fail is lack of oil changes and abuse , otherwise they are a fairly good gearbox .

    You advised me against a an auto. At least leaving it auto anyway. I didn't have the money to convert it to manual, and ultimately have come out alright.

    For clarification:
    02m = 5sp out of mk4 GTI
    02a = 5sp manual VR

    ??

    6500 for a nice yellow Colour Concept on 18" Works is pretty decent in my book.
    But then when you factor in the conversion cost then its getting close to the 10k for that mint burgundy one thats going over here with the Schrick Manifold. Decisions, decisions...

    That yellow one has been spotted quite a lot round Perth, have seen it a few times near my work but never got a chance for a close look or chat to the current owner. Seems a pretty decent price if he only wants $6500, but that's without any other info on the car... good luck in your search Jash
