Unhappy

Hey guys, as most of ya know, I'm slowly rebuilding my 84 (AUS S3) from the ground up, its just a bare shell at the mo. Anyway, I figure now was a good time to start collecting the gear to do the auto to manual swap that it so desperately requires. I've sourced a S2 pedal box and clutch master cylinder, I was wondering what else I'm going to need.



The engine and gearbox I'm getting will be a 13BT with a supra 5spd gearbox most likely.



TIA

The S4 and S5 T2's are a nice setup.They should be enough power for your car.

So anyway, what other parts do you reckon I need for the auto to manual swap, or is that basically it? Just the master cylinder and pedal box and the transmission and engine will have all the rest with it.

And theres a metal hard line from the master to a spot on the firewall.Then it goes to a rubber clutch slave cylinder line to the slave cylinder.

Arrghh! Are you serious! Is that hard to do?

I got the master cylinder with the metal piping and its cut off at the rubber hose, cos the wrecker reckons that it will depend on the tranny you get to what you need for the hose bit.

I've been looking for ages for a S2 or S3 for wrecking, so I could get parts, but in the end I had to go to a wreckers. I got raped. It cost me $250 for the pedal box and $50 for the master cylinder.
