I've heard talk of people thinking about it but have never seen any factual attempts. These things need a sixth gear.
I was pondering, and it probably wouldn't be toooooooo terribly difficult to have a bell housing adapter made for something like a 7th gen and then have a custom input shaft in a longer length made. Are there any other ideas floating around out there? -------------------- |
