Wed, 11 February 2004 13:06 Quote: nice dude are you going to keep the steering box or try and do a custom R&P? what engine mounts / sump did you use. How hard do you reckon it would be to fit a manual? I am retaining the steering box - there is no real point going to the expense and hassle of a rack and pinion for the use I have planned. The steering box is still in good condition with no play and no leaks (despite what I was told by a professional suspension shop ). The only reason I would like to head R&P down the track is to get a much closer steering ratio, as the steering box is something horrible like 4 turns lock to lock! I took the measurements and had the JZZ30 sump modified heavily to suit the MX13 crossmember/steering locaiton. I made my own engine mounts by using the stock 4M rubber part and making up an adapter bracket from there. The manual would be very easy, but very expensive. For a W58 I'd budget at least $1500 (if you can get a 2JZ one) or more like $2500 for a non-2JZ W58 or an R154. For a 6-speed you're looking at about another $4500 by the time you've fitted it. Then on top of those prices you will, by some reports, need a new ECU also. [Report message to a moderator]
