if you dont have a choice, then go with an auto, convert later.

OR

get a job, make money the hard way, and buy your own effing car... thats what i had to do.

Yeah, I'm going to convert from auto to manual. My friend has a shop so I can assemble the parts there.

He highly recommends me to stick with an auto transmission for awhile. I dont know why.. I'm a decent driver on the stick.

Its not that easy to find the exact things you want for a car nowadays. So why not start with a decent auto 240sx then convert it to a manual transmission later? I dont have much money anyway and I'm getting the job soon. Working on the car little by little is a good thing.
