6 speed for the RX-7
I came across an interesting ad I thought I'd share. If you REALLY want a sequential tranny, these guys look like they'd be pricey, but they say they sell a gearset for 6 speeds:

Dog gears crash boxes (no syncrhos) are not very streetable. Need to really rev match to up/downshift. The "cheaper" 6-spd is not sequential, I believe. They quoted me $15-17K for the sequential 6-spd crash box. But you need a Tilton clutch/flywheel ($$$$) and an Escort/Sierra bell-housing to clear/mate with it (more $$$$). The Quaife rep told me "strictly for racing purposes only".
Anyone know how to put the M3 SMG in instead?

Yes yes ... HKS.
Also, isn't there a company in Australia that makes a kit to mount a JZA80 gearbox to the FD?

My question about the Australian company that makes a kit to put a JZA80 gearbox in a FD is... how hard would it be to make it fit? If they had a website, post it up so we can take a look for ourselves. That's something I'd be interested in doing also.
