Meant tranny! Damn auto correct!
I've always liked the looks of the 2nd gen S40 Volvo, chassis is the same as the Mazda3's and turbo versions can be found pretty cheap now. So I was wondering if the turbos fwd's were/are available with a manual tranny? All the ones I've seen are autos. I know the N/A version does come with the manual. Maybe a swap can be done?

Cant remember ever seeing one with a manual. Doesn't mean i know anything.
I also like those cars. I always knew they looked good, and when i found out they were mazda3s (iirc the door handles were what led me to look into it) i liked them even more.
I see them for sale locally in CA - look up S40 T5.

I've got a customer with a fairly new...2008ish V50 with a stick. Not common, though.
