Subscribed. This looks amazing. I had no idea you could even change from an auto to a manual. 80% of the time, I'm happy I have an automatic, because it makes commuting life easier. But if it ever becomes my fun weekend car, this will be a must-have mod.

i thought so

I love my TS so much that I went with the additional unit. It has power like a V8 and it is so easy to drive...stay out of it and it acts normal...get in it and it acts like a v8
