Hello -

I was talking to my friend last night and he told me that the engine from the Smart is from Mitsubishi ... now :

1 - If the same engine exists in Mitsubishi Kei-Cars and ...
2 - If the Kei-Cars offer tall-geared manual transmissions and ...
3 - If the manual transmission would fit in the Smart engine bay and ...
4 - If the gear-shift linkage could be transferred into the Smart then ...

... Mayyyyyyyybe it would be doable. But not by me, .
