hi channie
We all love to play with something in our life times.

Converting an auto to manual isn't all that hard if you have the know how and all the right parts.
Also small automatic cars like datsuns, toyota's etc are less powerful then their manual brothers.
As with a manual you can hold it in gear for longer and therefore get more power. Also auto's are a little bit more heavier on fuel as people tend to put their foot down harder to get the power.

anyway hope you find one soon.
