Hats off to you, you have clearly been busy. That 3D printing looks to be a nice & strong too. Is that two sets of flappy paddles I spy or camera trickery?

They are paddle extensions you can fit to the standard Aygo steering wheel paddles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Your going to have to be inventive if bringing this to the market. You need to protect your investment of time and money. This is exactly the sort of idea no-marks will want to copy. The aftermarket scene for original ideas is a very small pond.

fastphil666 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Still interested in this, would love to see you driving it. Just want to gauge change speed etc, im assuming its as fast as moving the stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electronic shifter is far quicker at changing gear than the Supra autobox, it changes gear selections in 0.4 seconds, so the only delay is from the 25 year old tech in the stock box. So yes it's as fast as moving the stick It's shifts exactly as stock, just with paddles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Although fitting of the shifter kit is very easy, there will be a fitting option available, so a drive in drive out fully fitted and working. I also currently offer a steering wheel upgrade option, whether it be a newer Toyota steering wheel from an Aygo like mine, paddles or not, or any Toyota or Lexus steering wheel you like and have purchased. I will convert the wiring over so that it is plug'n'play with the Supra steering wheel clock spring, and also convert the newer cruise control stalk to work with the Supra. Just get in touch if interested Edited November 13, 2020 by Burna (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoupe46 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Hi Burna, Are you still doing these, if so I'm interested! Out of curiosity is this an actuator linked to the original shift lever controlled by an ecu? I don't have the trac butterfly valve or sensors any more (so no Manu mode), any idea if this would this cause an issue or could it be worked around in the software?

I think the cost is easily justifiable mate. Supra’s are now £30k - £60k cars now, so adding an £8k ZF conversion isn’t a lot of money in the scheme of things. You also only need to add a CANTCU to control the gearbox, and not a link or syvecs, you use the stock ecu for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unlike most people who buy supra's these days and have the cash to take their cars to a garage and get them to do everything I don't have £8k to spare! I've spent around 50k so far over 8 years of ownership (including buying it for 10k) and have done pretty much everything myself (bar putting the bottom end of my engine together). 8k on a gearbox is better spent on other more important things imo. My car is heavily modified, so I've already built my engine and gearbox to handle a lot more power. I could justify 1.5k but 8k not so much.

Burna Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 I have to say it's worth it for driveability and fun, some of the best money I've spent on the Supra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
