personally i wouldn't mess around with the stato in the way of fitting a manual as i can't see the point. the stato is the sort of car to relax in and enjoy its smooth comfy ride, not have the hassle of having to change gears. To me it is a smooth cruiser style vehicle so i wouldn't bother trying to make it perform, I would just enjoy it for the hippo it is.

true.. but i dont trust autos much and a manual is much more fun. i suppose another option is to keep the auto and sell the wagz either whole or in pieces then spend some of the money strengthining the auto.

if i was in your position i'd just lower it and do the exhaust to make the stato sound good, a mate had one and it was such a great cruiser. i don't see the point in strengthening the auto if it doesn't need it, get it serviced and as long as there aren't any current issues it should be sweet for ages.
