Arrow Now WTH do I do now?

Hi folks,
I'm in a really big dilemma right now, and I wanna know what you guys think. I own a 93 auto, intercooler 3 row, intake, full exhaust, pulley kit, igntion HKS rx-7. Now heres my problem, I know where to get a the entire conversion parts to manual for under 1500$. And when I say all, its all. But in a way, I have a touring edition with the bose system and everything and Im kinda feeling bad about changing it because im affraid it will loose its value since it wont be match number anymore. I wanted to install a PCS computer to control the transmission from A to Z and install a 4.33 RZ type diff to make it stronger and more responsive on the pedal. Now what do you guys think I should go with.

tell me please...

Not matching numbers? What? This isn't a 69 Camaro or something. This stuff doesn't matter. If anything, your car is going to increase in value when you swap to a manual, so IMO that is what you should do.

I Say Leave It. Personaly I Like A Manual Sports Car And I Passed Up A Clean Auto Rx-7 And Drove Half Way Across The United States To Get A Clean Manual Base Model. Both Where Black But The Auto Had Tan Interior And Mine Had Black Which I Like Better. But If I Had A Auto Already I Would Just Leave It. Its More Consistent And Its Better When Your With Your Girl Or In Stop And Go Traffic. Especially If Its A Street Driven Car That Isnt Raced Often Or Just Once And A While.

OK ecoute mec je ne pense pas que le dernier sais de koi il parle. Auto ca tue une FD. Le moteur rotatif a besoin defois de faire du 7000rpm qqchose que lauto ne peut pas faire pour toi. Fak en essence tu t'achete tout le stock que tu regarde mais ajoute un Apexi PFC w/ commander pis mets de cote 500$ pour l'ete qui s'envient quand Steve Kaan va descendre tuner tout les char du Clubrxquebec.com moi meme inclus.

Bonne chance et bon rotoring

all im gunna say is that both automatic and manual rx-7s are a blast to drive. The manual is more for you if your a die hard racing enthusiast where as the auto is a car that you would get if you just wanted a quick car with out the hassle of shifting. So if your lazy or do a lot of stop and go>auto if your a street racer,tracker,auto-x, shift mad quick>5spd

i am personally more of the latter,which is why i DID do the swap
