Looks tidier than mine. I would leave it auto and original, then mine wont be the only one.

Manual conversion FTW!

ZX is probably the auto - or its just a sticker - it does have the lushest of the sunny interiors which is awesome.

I also notice this one doesnt have the chrome bumpers which would make it look of the chain.

Id leave it auto till you get sick of it - its an easy conversion but i actually enjoyed driving my one auto.

Doing the manual conversion will save on gas and give you a power increase straight off the bat - as the autos are not a "lockup" or direct drive in the 3rd gear they are power sucking all the time.

Great buy though - still have a soft spot for these.

Scott Brdflu may know the differences.
My SGX was auto with the same interior.
ZX comes in 5 speed also.

It may be a bit like the round headlight 310 coupes.
I've owned 140y's, and 1400sgx's. The only difference I could see was the badges.
Also, I just noticed how mint your seats are Mohit. They'd be the best seats I've ever seen!
