Okay so the FD that I recently bought is an automatic..Does this officially make me one of the most boring FD owners around?Or is it really not that bad depending on preference?

 

Not that bad dude. It's still an fd, but why don't you do a tranny swap? Manual is cheap. Bought mine with less then 20k miles on it for less then 700 bucks.

 

hey josh the tranny may be cheap but if he does not do the work himself it could get pretty pricey.

 

Well where I live,there is a traffic light every 100 feet,so driving manual is really a pain in the ***..I love a good streetrace though,and when everybody posts their kills,they talk about how they dropped it into 3rd and by 4th they had pulled a 3 or so car lead..What do I say?I floored it and won??Talk about exciting..lol

 

Your not alone lol. My FD was swapped to a manual before I bought it...

 

For how cheap autos go for, Id probably pick one up. And swap it, of course. Now, if your not an old man, or an old women, and you have full use of both of your legs, than yes, you are the most boring FD drivers around. I dont think I could drive an auto FD. Have you driven a manual? If you havent, you dont know what your missing.

 

Jamming gears is 95% of the fun for me personally.

 

Theres nothing like doing 150 in 4th gear at 9,000 rpm!!!!!

 

Theres nothing like doing 150 in 4th gear at 9,000 rpm with 1 gear left!!!!!

 

oops, how did that happen??

 

The saying goes: Manual is for the driver, Automatic is for the passenger.
