First up I have a Stock 96' E-ST202; I am currently putting together a list of materials I need to bring it up a few notches. I have just about 6 months before I start working on it, so I want to do as much research as possible so I don't have issues when I start work. Also I'm planning on doing a lot of the work myself with the help of my mechanic. Last thing; I live in the Caribbean so my Celi is Japanese
 ... Please anybody feel free to say what you think, I need real honest and straight advice...Here are my ideas so far: Engine: For now I only want to convert the Automatic Transmission to Manual because I just can't stand that lazy automatic... Exterior: -Full body kit (suggestions please) -18" Rims w/proper tires -Not too obvious but nice rear wing -Maybe change headlights and tail-lights (something shiny-er) -Lambo Doors Interior -Leather seat covers or racing seats -Double DIN head unit (Touch Screen, DVD, MP3, etc...) Thinking of Panasonic CQ-VD6503U -New mids (possibly explods), tweeters and two 8" subwoofers in the rear -Carbon fiber dash panels, and door controls Please any advice or opinions is welcome, thanks much....

While looking around here I found the JDM Headlights and Tail-lights.. I like those too... I need a suggestion on a good VDC kit for the doors.. I would prefer a bolt on kit that doesn't involve welding and so on.. like I said I'm gonna be taking up most of the work myself... I also need a suggestion as to the transmission conversion.. my mechanic says he can do it but I need a kit of some sort if I want a good setup.... anyone know where I can find one??? JAPANESE (if there's a difference at all  )Thanks much for the responses so far.... what engine do you have ? --------------------  |

JAPANESE (if there's a difference at all )Thanks much for the responses so far.... what engine do you have ? Sorry about the long delay..... The engine is a 3S-FE; I really would like to know what parts I need or if there is a complete kit or something to do the AT to MT swap... or is possible to just tell the Toyota people that I'm doing a transmission swap and he'll know what I need?????  Other thing, I realized that I already have the JDM tail-lights so I only need the projectors and highs now... but I have a stock 3-post spoiler; I decided I would prefer the 2-post SS-III spoiler with raiser blocks, it has the simple look I was looking for... only problem is I have no idea where to find them.... I got a part number somewhere around here but no dealer I ask can find it for me.... any ideas???One more thing.. I'm in Mexico now and found these rims at 17"... what do you guys think?
