Yeah for sure. I had a JZX100 Tourer V Mark 2 with the original 5 speed and it was the best ever. I sure do miss it. I ran into some financial issues which it took upon me to having to sell my jzx. Now I'm in the market for another one, but It's hard finding one like what I had. Lots of them have high KM's and they aren't in the best of shape. However, jz motors withstand abuse I must say. I was looking at the option of getting an auto in mint shape and doing the swap to R154 at my buddies shop, but we'll see. Straight out manual is always the best. Love these cars for sure. Miss the S-Chassis at times, but can't be happy to be in a saloon that's got the balls to back it.
