My Toyota Soarer is Officially Manual Swapped!

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

You should totally have a shift knob made out of wood and stained to be the same color as the dash/door trim! Would look dope! Edit: also fake friend is a killer song isn’t it 😂

[@MrDeceptacon88]

No its a dumb song

[@youridv]

He's got an OEM shift knob on the way I believe. Inifintely better

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

@@youridv he did say that, but nah oem shift knobs are lame lol. He’s got wood grain throughout the car and a custom interior, why use an oe knob it just doesn’t fit

[@youridv]

@@Matt_Lanzer_13 He litterally made sure to made the center console as OEM as he could lmao. "why use an oem shifter" because he's trying to make the swap look oem?

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

@@youridv an oem center console is one thing... it won’t look hacked or anything. He said he wants the SWAP to look oem. As in the car was originally a manual, oe pedals, stock console trim. Not the interior. because he’s literally touched every aspect of that interior. Swapped or painted everything to black, custom stitched front/rear seats, crazy starlight headliner, aftermarket wheel, etc. an oem shift knob won’t fit the look really at all. 99% of all modified Japanese cars have aftermarket shift knobs anyways, so why would it make it look like it’s not a modified oe manual car? It’s simple logic lol

[@danielmarquis7469]

Hey mike, I tried to Dm you about this but you probably didn’t see, I just did the same swap on my gs300 and its a vip car and rides low, the transmission mount kit you used hung too low but I found out that oem 97+ sc300 (the low profile one) trans mount fits perfectly with no modifications or spacer and you can fit the exhaust without the trans hanging too low. Hope this helps

[@ffturbo]

Bored out of my mind and them Mike divine uploads? Fuck yeah!

[@xtifozzy]

I also just finished the manual swap on my Forester, so I know how you feel right now. Congrats!

Hammer down that exhaust a bit more. My 240sx had the same symptom, hearing a vibration and it was because my header was touching the body (your exhaust hitting the trans mount). Congrats my guy!

[@PokeSparkz]

i agree lol baby the hell out of it. stage 5 clutch id be ripping it. but then again it is his baby lol

[@dyran]

The thing that I like about your videos is that you don't drag things out just to get an upload in. Every roadblock, whether it was the driveshaft adapter, the driveshaft itself, the exhaust, etc. was dealt with in one video and then we got to see you drive the thing. No teasers, no cliffhangers. So good.

[@stevesanchez1975]

Clicked so god damn fast, I want to manual swap an ls400

[@willcmd]

going to be manual swapping my is300 with a cd009 soon and this has been hella informative

[@callefalk4457]

WTF???

[@ryanolson6794]

I almost bought a LS400 with a SR20 trans.

[@MrTimbrown34]

That is such a pretty car. So glad you got it how you want it. Might just be a trans conversion but it's not a type you see often or with the quality you make the build or the video. Congrats Mike & guys. 10/10

[@timsminigarage]

Manual swaps are the best. I swapped my RWD 323 from 3 speed auto to 5 speed manual and absolutely transformed the car. Just don’t forget the neutral safety switch...

[@ethanreimer4024]

The first drive literally made me so happy. Congrats my brotha!!!

[@jamievandalen]

thats awesome mike! No more slushbox! And that interior excites me every time i see it. The shifter panel really looks at home in there

[@Sparcsmi]

Big respect for making it through the swap with all of those issues, especially recording through it too.

[@HumbleHonkingEnthusiast]

Hey Mike, I have a manual swap mx73 and my cluster does the same thing. Easiest thing to do is take the cluster apart and just put tape over the light

[@HallowellsSpeedShop]

Trauma Factory was a banger 🔥 Also if it feels or sounds like “thud” it’s more than likely the carrier bearing.

[@jimmywinner8473]

Agreed! The new nothing,nowhere album is absolutely great

[@jimmywinner8473]

Mike hearting my comment is my life's greatest achievement

[@louishavenhand6993]

finished my manual swapped ls400 last month. Great to see another cool car getting the same treatment!

[@Aidenhilla7159]

i hear a bit of background sound while you’re vlogging not sure if thats my phone or your camera. but the car looks dope loce how you’re doing it

[@bonesenruben]

Hearing it too, thought it was the leather seats creaking at first 😂

[@_JulianC_]

that chattering sound you guys here is the autofocus on the camera, sometimes or depending on the camera it can be very audible or not noticeable at all.

[@callefalk4457]

SMURF!?!?!?!

Manual swap totally changed a car! Remeber swapping my E36 325i from auto to manual, it was like a different car 👌🏼🏁

Im so glad over here in the uk most stuff is manual already, great job tho 👏

[@darealkosmo]

great video Mike, glad she's done and you're enjoying it!

[@bored2323]

Vibration could be that’s exhaust, it’s so close to the brace and when your driving it’s definitely hitting and causing vibration/ rattling

[@Unelevated]

Glad you finally got it done you did an amazing job can’t wait to see what else you do with this car!

[@evlsc400]

As an SC owner that was satisfying to watch you place the manual bezel in there like that, thank you for that clip. Edit: personal opinion, you need some aluminum volume/temp knobs to complete that interior.

[@Enrodyzeus]

Man that turbo spool sounds so nice

[@wasabi._.8614]

[@BigJimmyLifts]

Absolutely awesome little series this bro, love the soarer, absolute beast of a car. And manual is the icing on the cake, Only bit of advice I can give is, please for the love of god stop putting it into neutral every time you coast it, if someone pulled out on you and you had to slam on you’d skid straight into them. Need your engine engaged to engine brake in that sort of situation if you want to stop effectively. I’m from the UK so manual cars are second nature to me and a massive bug bare of mine is when people have to brake hard and panic and press the clutch down straight away leaving all the stopping to the tyres and brakes. Apart from that awesome vid as always, keep them coming.

[@seancoyne2370]

Glad you swapped it! Finished manual selling my SC400 a few months back! Nice to see it properly done with good parts unlike my “custom” parts I made work lol

[@greeelrealtalk]

cant wait to cd009 swap my sc300 this weekend. been waiting for this one for a minute. happy for you homie

[@TerraFilmTV]

We’re all pumped for you dude. This is perfect

[@jolteoonalt]

To be real with you, that vibration that's under your hand could very well just be the exhaust hitting that bolt still.

[@laurasuarez9556]

That thing was way to close for it not to be the exhaust hitting the trans mount bracket

[@tonycrispin]

You can buy the rubber for the brake pedal new, just trim the metal and slap a new rubber thing on. Basically a new pedal, that's what I did for my cressida manual swap. Hyped to see this done though! So rad!

[@diiviinemedia]

I have it! Gonna put it in soon

[@michaelbambito608]

Awesome video, for the vibration, check your gearbox isn’t touching the underside of your tunnel. A friend converted his sr20 c33 laurel to a rb gearbox. It made a noise like it was driveshaft related so we went from 1 piece, 2 piece, rebalanced etc. Turned out it was slightly touching the shell. Hope this helps!

[@ShawnT_1JZ]

man this car sounds insane

[@Luqrativ]

I appreciate the complete feel of the videos man, you could've easily just posted what you had on nights were you ran into minor road blocks just to get some content up but you actually do it right and give us some content worth watching instead of putting up incomplete work. In other words quality over quantity. Keep it up man!

[@miketech2]

super cool to see you so stoked on this... bc youre right, its a mod FOR YOU not the viewers 🤘🏽

[@bawjawmcgraw2232]

The vibration will be the exhaust sitting against the gearbox mount when the engines under load and the stock engine mounts flex....probably needs a fair bit more clearance...

[@silversentrav]

If your looking for a shifter, The CubeSpeed unit is pretty good. Shipping from Aus was pretty fast also

Hi Mike, congrats on the swap. I think the wood in the car would look cool with maybe a brushed stainless style wrap? Carbon is a bit of an obvious choice but I think the wood is looking a little bit tired/out of place maybe?
