The XRS is also a front wheel drive, comes standard with 6 speed. I hate watching my RPM flying 3700~ when I'm only going 80mph along with the traffic... Sometimes I just wish I could shift to 6th to lower the freakin' RPM..

Prolly a lot more work then you think. What series motor is in the matrix?
I mean, anythings possible, but if you really want to save money on gas, you should prolly just get car w/ the 6 speed tranny, that or drive the speed limit 55mph. -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld

I think some of those matrix and vibes came with a 180hp 1.8 liter. Could be the same as the 7th gen celica. In which chase the answer would be, anything possable with money. I hate giving that answer. It still couldn't be to bad. If you feel like doing something different, go for it.

I could do it.
http://www.phoenixtuning.com/ Check out "Completed Swaps" then "Hellish Mantis" it's a 2ZZGE swap into a '98 Corolla, plus other goodies. Since you have an ST, it's the same deal, pretty much. Full custom swap, but a great choice. -Dr Tweak This post has been edited by raven_101: May 21, 2005 - 1:16 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

[right][snapback]289866[/snapback][/right] You could do without the 19s and just get larger tires. That will lower your acceleration though, it effectively lengthens your gears.
