Not to mention CD, AC, Foggies, and other things.
Yeh true, i got the A/C in the 1.8 but no ABS or Airbags.

It's more likely to have a sunroof too but it is also less likely to come in manual because the stereotypical person who bought this car new would have most likely gone auto

If I go ahead and buy a V6 it may as well be exactly what i want! I would be buying the "astina-of-my-dreams" ... that is:
  • BA11F2 or F3 for colour coded door handles.
  • Thunderstorm grey in colour
  • Manual
  • Sunroof
  • Very close to stock
  • No body work. Ever.
  • Good interior.

Unfortunately this may be rather hard find, esp with a price of $9k or less (don't care about kms as long as interior, wiring and body are in good shape). I figure that if im gonna spend $6k on an engine conversion, the chassis i use had better be exactly what i want!

Anyways, i could talk forever about what I want, i think i'll leave this discussion here and update y'all when the decision is made.
