People think you have gears because you have a tuner? How can anyone who knows anything about cars think that?

'cause i eat them off the line! my car shifts hard after every gear and they just cant believe it's an auto since 5spd is "suppose out launch an auto"

Well Automatics are just nicer.
"funner" Isnt really even a word............. and I personally dont think that all that work is (ie the swap) necessary for a street car. It isnt quite as bad as you all think, most of the problem lies in making the clutch pedal/mounting it. Otherwise just a ecu swap, bellhousing change, and master cylinder install really... technically you dont HAVE to take out the engine.
Furthermore if the auto can handle power (which it looks like it can) then why would you spend money and time on swapping a tranny when you could spend it on some power adders.
Besides, auto is easier on your knees.

If you can trade cars that would be ideal but stick with the auto and build it up. I know what you mean manual is fun

You most definitely don't have to take out the engine. I can't think of anyone who actually did take the engine out just for a 5spd swap. There is also no master cylinder.

he would need the car for a while as a donor car for the swap, itd be way to much hassle
