Message: <blockquote data-quote="koolspyda" data-source="post: 4545316" data-attributes="member: 2832">many toyota MR-S brought into msia were SMT esp the later years. manuals found in msia were mostly 2000-2002.It was easier to sell as it appeals to many who wanted something easy to drive in traffic. Automatics for other cars did command a higher price & desirability (or practicallity).There are post 2003 spyders for sale, while its all SMT there is no performance lacking (other than a slightly slower upshift of gears compared to manual).other than the slight cosmetic uplift, the post 2003 did not offer better engine performace > to the ones before it. toyota did add bracings to 2003 onwards but it was too offered by aftermarket.if it was the 6speed that u were after (only post 2003 MR-S had this from factory), its not uncommon to swap this. I had a year 2000 5speed for a good many years before throwing in a 2zz with 6speed. the 2zz celica gearbox (which lotus elise/exige too uses the same gbox > the JDM specs 6speed MR-S in terms of gearing, its shorter. 2003 6speed MR-S arent much different then the 5speed MR-S as 1-5 gears are the same.I hardly use the 6th gear in street driving, town. usually no opportuntity at all.Gear Ratios (:1)5speed1st - 3.17 2nd - 1.90 3nd - 1.39 4th - 1.03 5th - .082 Reverse - 3.25 6speed (2003 onwards)1st - 3.17 2nd - 1.90 3rd - 1.39 4th - 1.03 5th - 0.82 6th - 0.73 Rev - 3.25*the 6th gear for 2003 onwards helps in highway cruising (lower rpm).However the UK/euro spec MR-S spyders are taller than the Japan/US specs (which is found in most MR-S here). This UK/euro MR-S shows in their slightly 'slower' 0-100kmh vs the JDM specs MR-S time but have higher top speed (>220kmh). There is only 1 UK spec spyder in malaysia (he brought it back when he came back to work in msia. (he loved the car so much).Officially I only know there is only 3 original 6speed MR-S manual from factory/japan in malaysia. 1 is in red (turbo), one is in paradise blue (NA) & the white MR-s with black hard top. SMT's with 6speed are quite a number on the road. I wont fuss too much on the >2003 manuals if its hard to find. there are ways to get that (gearbox) if one is willing. hope the info helps.swaping in isnt detrimental to car perfromance except burning a small hole in one's pocket.edited the post on how many official manual 6speed MR-S (2003 onwards)</blockquote>

smallest wheels

Hi,

Does anyone know what the smallest wheel I can fit on an airtrek is? Obviously the factory wheels are 16s, but will any 15s fit?

Thanks.
