N/A tranny on a Turbo 2 motor
So my motor finally blew after the 155K mark. I am doing the Turbo 2 conversion (the right way) to the SE and finding some parts seems to be a little tougher than others. I'm sure others who have done this know already(Unless they got a parts car with everything in it, BASTARDS. j/k). Anyway, I've got the connection to the motor, driveshaft, ecu/harness, and little bits n pieces. But, what seems to be the biggest problem is finding a Turbo 2 tranny & rear end.
Which leads to my situation. I know a guy with an N/A tranny for $200 that is relatively new. I was wondering if I should just go ahead & get that or just wait longer for one to come along? Would there be any decrease in performance from this? I would think there would be, but i'm still a newbie in the rx-7 world. So please bare with me.
Also, Turbo 2 hoods seem to be a rare to come by. Anybody tried the carbon fiber one from SSM yet. I've thought about pulling that one for sometime now, but I have yet to hear about or see anybody with one. If someone can provide any info on it, please let me know.
Thanks,
Antaous

$200 is a very high price for a N/A transmission, unless recently rebuild or very low miles. Usually Turbo2 trans sell for around that price. Anyway, to bolt up the N/A transmission you would need the N/A flywheel, clutch, and starter. Very much not worth the hassle being you plan to swap to a Turbo trans in the future anyway. Just wait until you can find the right parts to do it correctly.

This hasn't been addressed, and I don't know if he was thinking this, but the TII driveshaft will NOT bolt up to the n/a tranny, with an n/a tranny you will need an n/a driveshaft AND rear, as well with a TII tranny you need the TII shaft and rear.
