T5 Upgrade
Collogues
I have spoken about this many times, to try and get best out of your beast is to unleash the beast, the best way is simply to replace the power hungry and woeful 3 speed automatic with a 5 speed manual transmission. I have also posted before here in Australia there is company in Sydney that do the conversion and it is a cheaper alternative to the ones that normally advertise and spoken off.
Many people will find just by putting a 5 speed manual transmission in their cars will be enough modification and give such a performance upgrade that searching for other performance upgrades may not be necessary.

I must also state that I have nothing to do business wise or personally with the seller of this product, I just simply see a cheaper way for a transmission transplant

he bell housing is $700, how much do you think the conversion would cost in total, what would you do for a flywheel etc. And where would you even get a flywheel?
My Story
I was ready to buy the Dellows kit, but by chance I came across a
complete kit with another motor on line, "yet to be installed ( I wont to rebuild that 2nd motor first and then do a total transplant)" but most of this stuff came from dellows anyway, after seeing what's involed all you realy need is the bellhousing, gearbox, flywheel and pedal box. A second hand pedal box is about $300 and fits straight into the v12's from one of the six cylinder cars, there are also pedal kits to transform yours. Gearbox mounts can be easily fabb'd and a driveshaft altered for little money.
Talk to them, they make these bits, they know their stuff.
