those are pretty nice a few friends have em atlest its a stick too
The clutch in my Mr2's was much harder to depress, but more responsive..I loved it.
Also the Shifter itself felt "forced" into each gear. Clunked into each spot and the way your arm rested right along behind it and held it sideways rocks.
Take's some getting used to, and isn't nearly as fun as my RWD cars of old....but its only backup to the up and coming FD.

You know what, as cool as it is being manual its nothing like the sports-car setup.

I know, but I wish the clutch pedal and shifter was set up the same.
I am not talking about power and handling. Because, even though the Mr2 NA was about half as fast as the Mr2-T it still had a great manual set up. Heck, even though its slower than the integra (to a certain degree, not in turns lol) its a lot more fun to simply shift.
Bah, who am I kiddin, this is just a backup car anyways

dude it is an awesome daily driver, but yeah i would definitely invest in some rims and the spoiler. I bet you could probably get a set of gs-r rims and a black spoiler for like $300 off of some guy in california
Yea, I have 93 Stock GS-R Rims and Black stock spoiler on the way, then i am done.

No, more like difference between an Eco Sports sedan and a sports car.
A manual toyota tercel won't quite be like a Honda S2000 or NSX shift setup.
Depends on the "type" of car, in a lot of ways, not just who makes it....
