No this came 5 speed.....they are just hard to find.

Lmaooo funny seeing a car like this with a BOV. Total sleeper :laughing:

Love it, nice work there! The wheels and paint are very nice. No wonder he called you again!!!
Re: 1996 850R=Extreme detail IN PROGRESS(PIC HEAVY)
Why? That's a $2,000 car.....:doh:
Re: 1996 850R=Extreme detail IN PROGRESS(PIC HEAVY)
Less than 200 T5-R's were imported into America. So some of the 850 models are worth more than you would think.
Re: 1996 850R=Extreme detail IN PROGRESS(PIC HEAVY)
None of them came to the US with manual transmissions. They all came w/ slow 4-speed autos. This one either came from Canada or it was swapped from a base, non-turbo model donor. Totally transforms it. True sleeper.
Look forward to the rest of the pics for total transformation. Like to see how the interior turns out w/ the worn alcantara.

never knew about these cars. How much does a nice condition one usually sell for?
