Hey, I'm fairly new to subyclub. I've read through heaps of threads but haven't posted anything.
Just a head up, I have a silver gen 3. Pretty much all stock, it was my grandparents car. I chucked an ipad in the dash but that's been done before.

Today I came across a transmission stick on import monster from a b4. I really like the idea of that sport shift, or whatever it's called. (Just if you think I'm shit cause I have an auto, the car was given to me and I couldn't say no. I learnt all on manual if that makes me more manly

) but here is a picture

This is my transmission.

I really doubt that this would work, but I thought it was interesting. Has anyone tried it? Or has half a brain to know it won't work? Thanks for reading

I don't think that will work its a different box I believe.

Besides, I think I've used mine like once in 2 years.

I'm sure there's a way, but i think the effort would be greater than the actual usefulness.

Different gearbox and TCU required for tiptronic. Not worth the money you would spend doing it.

Cheers,

Ben

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Keeper69 - I notice your Climate control is where the ash tray should be - Why is this? Is there something nice in the dash? Please, do show!
