Pfff.... This D1 only CAME with an auto, it's getting an R380, which I already have on a pallet with the 300tdi.

, I want a fun truck, not one I'll fall asleep in!

 

Nice little project.
My 97 has a 5 speed and a V8 stock.
So yes, D1's did come in manual. :-)

 

He works for a rover parts place, he know they could come that way. I think he's just saying HIS only CAME that way but isn't going to STAY that way.

 

Edited my previous post for clarification

Thank you

 

Ahhh gotcha..

 

What are people doing for iPod connectivity? I have a Grom in my D2, not sure if that's what people are going with.

Also speakers. Not looking for a ghettoblasting system but perhaps replacing my stock units with alpine or something nicer.

 

I've got a sony head unit, bypassed the factory amp, 4" fronts, 6.5" in the rear with a 12" ported sub running on about 400w. I had an enclosed 10" and it gave a hollow sound so I went ported. Nice clean/crisp sound, on all volumes. Right amount of lows, mids and highs then again I'm no audio expert

 

The only thing I don't want to do is change the head unit... I want everything to look close to factory.

 

You have to know about these guys. Since you saved all that money buying a used motor, you can splurge for a modified stock head unit!

Yessir I was hanging out with John the weekend before last in Texas. It is a bit out of my range though, the Grom was only around $80
