dr_jekyll Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 dose anybody know if there is a manual box that can be fitted or a aftermarket conversion available for a 1999 xkr . thanks , craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 There's a company called Racing Green in Hampshire who can make the auto 'box into a type of flappy-paddle semi-auto... not exactly what you're after but that might be a start. Why not just drop a 2JZ-GTE and a V160 in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 would you know a rough price of what this might cost? Not a clue but have a read here. I've read about people running 550bhp with this conversion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
