A lot of bullshit in these mags. I take everything written with a pinch of salt. Pictures are what interest me more than anything.

He tried selling just the shell for some reason but I guess he decided to keep it. Imagine all that in an AE86

I stand corrected. My bad.
Exactly how much modification needs to be done to get the getrag to fit in the trans tunnel?

5spd alot smaller Beng & fits better 6spd needs tunnel love with grinder / big arse hammer.
Grab a 5 banger as you'll never ever use 6th gear, fits better and its alot cheaper.
6spd vs 5spd.

If the cards stack up that way it might be the go! Early in the new year hopefully should be coming into a decent amount of cashola around then. Sourcing the parts will be the hardest bit and getting the box rebuilt and freshened up

Halfcut / complete box package might be the goer. _________________WA's Most Powerful 6spd Aristo

Sounds like a plan. Might be able to squeeze in a half cut at the new place providing I can get rid of the parts quick and it has some goodies on there for me

Rare as hens teeth unless find something you like ex - japan. Just grab a JZX90 - 100 - JZZ30 halfcut and you'll be good to go.
Out of all those codes id want the JZX100 because the VVTi engine is worth a packet. _________________WA's Most Powerful 6spd Aristo
