@WLDRX2 ... Is your Rx2 getting close? Seen a couple of FB posts from a shop in Rangiora that's had an Rx2 that looks mighty similar to yours

Out of curiousity (if anyone knows) how do some events get away with no wof/reg requirement? The recent rollracing series is one of these events. -

Are you ok if I spam / plug this via my FB page occasionally from now up until the event? -
Is the white one you owned still in NZ? Man you've owned some bloody nice cars in the past, off the top of my head and memory I'm thinking, Blue s3? Rx7 on polished reflexes Dark Green Rx4 sedan That beautiful silver familia wagon White 323 wagon 13b turbo? Plus there must be heaps more!

haha, yep I've read it's a prick of a job. Maybe mine will be different lol.

Not 100%, hopefully Shizzl is right. HB's could be a mis-match hodgepodge of stuff. Suspension is same as FC, but gearboxes etc were similar spec to the s2 and s3 rx7's, so hopefully mounting etc is all the same. Next project update will be progress with gearbag removal, promise!

Others have told me driveshaft should be the same, crossmember on the car now looks like it’d line up with gearbox mount on manual box, but I haven’t measured, just eyeing it up. yep got the slave cylinder with the gbox and will source the master and lines during the swap.

Cheers bro’s @HighLUX and @shizzl - might end up yelling for help along the way. We’ll see I think I have all the bits, minus clutch master cylinder and lines, but figuring those can wait till the old box is out. No set date yet to begin - but next few months might get stuck into it.

A couple more bits for the manual conversion. Have shifted houses, so car resides in a garage at home now, so I’m thinking I’m gonna attempt this at home, with the car up on axle stands. Probably in for a world of trouble and getting in over my head, but I want to see if I can DIY it.
