When I drove manual on the right side.. I'd have the urge to open or close the windows :p so yeah... it's something we're not familiar with XD however at least the Clutch, Brakes and Accelerator are the same layout XD

That's why I asked. I couldn't do a different pedal setup. I'd be slamming on the gas when I wanna shift :lol:

Not until the transmission gives out... =)

Taking note that my car's a CVT 1.5 D15B SOHC engine
I'm happy with it's milage and performance.. yes it's hard to beat a manual setup car... with identical engine but I'm right there... right behind them... Robot to robot there's just a lag from pull off after that.. the car pretty much hold her own pretty well =) B series cars also are shocked with my pretty stock setup =)

Too bad I'm not at the coast.. I'm about.. approximately 1750 metres (5700 feet) above sea level ...

Very nice car, I like the seats almost as much as the dash.

Most of those CVT trannys are pretty cheap, (300ish) and are a great pairing with the motor for economy. Achieving a consistent 45 mpg and delivering all 130 horses at all times. They work by moving a set of pulley disks with each disk having a steep inside angle from the center to the edge and a belt in the middle. It adjusts gear ratio by varying the space between the disks on the pulley; the belt moves up and down across the inside of two disks. When the gap between pulley disks increases with engine load, lowering the 'gear' ratio and increasing rpms and vice-versa. This occurs on both an engine-side pulley and a wheel-side pulley. Sounds like a nightmare to break one of them, but considering how many of them there are and the price, I'm up for it.

Tranny's about 300ish and ecu is about 70 bucks on eGay.
