I looked on Ebay, corksport, Thepartstrader, only found one on ebay.



How much are you selling yours for?

and the question still stands, how hard it is to get a 3 rotor in to a 3rd gen, I mean it looks like a HELL of modification to the frame to fit it in and support it, plus the extra room needed. Anyone here every put one in?

It requires a decent amount of custom fabrication, lots of time, more money, and even more headaches. Have fun

You're looking at close to $30K I think.. that I believe covers everything. There is a thread or two about it, just search for it.

I beleive the 30k is to have Pettit build it for you, if you could do it yourself and had the ability to custom fab parts that were necessary I want to say that it could be done for >20k, but I haven't done it so......
