160 series Crown/Aristo - manual?

[gianttomato]

As above - did the xS160s come out in a manual form? I can't find this out.

There is a heap of GS300s out there in the 15K bracket - make for a great sleeper.

Given the eleventy billion variations of that platform I'd be pretty surprised if there weren't manual versions available, maybe some diesel taxi-spec Crown?

Manual GS500 would be well cool.

That's what I'd figure too, mang. But surfing the usual sites, I can't find any evidence of there being a manual variant.

[MR 1JZ]

what do you want a manual variant for?

ease of parts to convert?

just do what the japs do and use JZX100 shit with a custom centre console

bobs yer uncle

Pedal box really. Everything else I'm pretty unfussed about.

JZX90/JZX100 it up

you will find you can "modify" the brake pedal and just retro fit the clutch pedal/master

easy enough really...especially if you have the motor out

winnnar

thats what a whole bunch of americans are doing with their 147s and 161's these days anyway

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MR 1JZ again.

Thanks for that.
