TLicense Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 £4000 eh? Well it would be possible to do it on 4 grand but you would have an equivalent of a stock 6 speed. I'm uprating individual parts as I'm going along (ie uprated clutch/flywheel/ecu/revcounter etc etc.) and so far I'm budgeting on about £8500 All the Toyota parts alone are about £1000 or so.Then you've got your gearbox, propshaft and master/slave cylinders which are about £800 2nd hand. If you want the 6 speed diff that's gonna set you back another £500 plus the left hand drive shaft. 6 speed ecu £300. Then your gonna pay about £1500 or so for labour. So what's that? £4100? Not a bad price to pay for a bog std 6 speed aero TT. However like I said, if you then want to go about uprating any of those parts that's when the real price starts to come in. Once I've finished doing my conversion I'll do a write up and include the costs and part no's of all the parts that I've bought. Unfortunately (well not for me 'cause I'm a rubbish mechanic) I'm getting JPS to do the work, as they've done a couple of conversion's before. If you're really interested in doing this you could give them a call, you might be surprised!! Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Yeah you could cut off the roof and put in a Aerotop one, A guy called Martin who used to work at PPS in Seaham did this to a golf. Took alot of time and effort though. But it can be done! Would look great ok a UK 6 speed, now that would be different! Though i'd be shitting it incase it came apart at 170mph!!! then you'd have a convertible Now theres a idea......convertible supra! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I would want to see some real evidence of major chassis reinforcing before I would go anywhere in one of those.
