New pictures updated.

Future plans:

1. Changing stock rims to 17"

2. Changing tan interior to either full black, or black and white/cream/red

3. Swapping engine to 2zz-ge and transmission swap when I'm off my green P's

4. Changing headlight/tail light covers

5. Fix the "ears" when the soft top folds away

6. Install sound system

7. Hardtop in black or silver (anyone got a cheap one for sale?)

8. get that side vent to fit better!

Anyone have second hand rims for sale which fit my car? :lol:

Yeah, SMT is terrible. The up shifts are ridiculously slow. It might eventually lead to an accident even. Sometimes it takes about 2 seconds to change, sometimes it takes 1 second from gear 1 to 2.

Am definitely looking to get a manual transmission.

In my searches I found some people in the states (look on spyderchat) that were able to disable the SMT and return it to a real manual; obviously required a shifter and clutch pedal addition and some other parts.

Unless you want a high revving engine go for a turbo on the 1zz, much more power for less money. And you won't have any electrical issues due to removing the SMT and adding in the 2zz (the SMT ECU will still try and shift at the 1zz's max rpm).
