This is a repeat of a previous List string from early this year.
Most of the information on the conversion kits can be obtained from
their NZ site. I have their brochure in front of me and it can be
obtained for free through a website request. They make a wide range of
fittings and bellhousings for many cars and their boxes can be ordered
with differing performance criteria in mind. I have a fob price for a
full 5 speed kit with bellhousing and gearlever position change kit for
1443 US. I never went further with it as I was not completely
comfortable with the gearbox specs with higher horsepower ranges
especially when compared with the new more impressive Rover R-380..
though the Supra unit is much less costly and much much easier to
obtain..
If anyone is more interested in more specifics...email me.
