You would need the pedals and clutch hydraulics, as well as the M/T flywheel, transmission, clutch, driveshaft, etc. The ECU is also different. There's some stuff that's different with the intake as well.

You're better off finding a 5 speed FD. Finding one with a blown motor would also be good. Then you could start "fresh."

thats the new plan, but insurance would rape me on an FD. I'm looking @ any rx7 w/ a turbo right now, preferably blown. That won't be to hard right? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
