just a question man, are you willing to separate? if i was to get it, it would be after the turbo conversion coz i think the n/a 5 spd wouldnt handle the power increase.... hence, i would only be chasing the box itself.

and you craig!!! adam is "banto" or "bantman". he comes on every now and then!!! i went to uni with him reason for sale is i'm chasing the "quickest vlt in perth". so transbrake auto is going in scary - if you want to run the mx7, you'll need all of the above exept for the centre console. everything is different between the na and turbs mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

serious??? bugger i didnt realise that just changing the subject a bit here.... u reckon the na 5spd would handle a turbo engine with a stronger clutch?

depends on your boost mate, and how hard you change gears. i have heard of guys runnin na 5 speeds behind turbo motors, but they usually give it up every 12-18mnths, quicker when the boost is turned up. mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hehehe yeah thanx for that im not looking for anything crazy - anything under 10psi most likely, but at the start, i will keep it standard. i just want to feel some boost behind me... i dragged a vlt the other day and had his am i was stoked! could hear him going hard and the turbo spooling but i had him by not much, just less than a cars length but he was coming back... thats where the tubo will help me hopefully thanx again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
