The Raven Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Always wondered why they where only ever made in japan with auto boxes? Was there any reason behind it? PITA now i want to dump a TT engine in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The only reason I can think of would be the perceived use of the car and the extra body flex you get when you cut a roof off. Any bracing added to stiffen the chassis is always a compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah i know i can, However i wondered why they never fitted those boxes to the JDM cars? While the US got them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really dont know mate, i guess its something we'd need to hear from toyota...there would have been a market for them though. But one good thing, the chassis have the same mould lines on the tunnel and firewall, auto and manuals, so converting yourself isnt really that difficult....

Yea but RHD tt autos were available in aero...cant imagine there would be that much difference between a, tt auto and tt 6speed for the aero chassis to have any probs handling the power....
