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? -------------------- |

i can only think of trying bigger wheels and a speedometer corrector...
but i'd say the 6 speed in those sort of cars are designed to bring the gears in between first and final gear closer together to aid street acceleration (drivability) of torqueless motors and wont bring your cruising revs down, instead it'll give u a 5th gear which feels like ur old 4th gear. my flatmates bz-r levin revs anywhere between 1 and 2 thou RPM higher than my car does thru its 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th gears at street driving speeds but then it's 6th gear brings its revs down to match my 5th gear, eg 3k and a bit at 100 kph. -------------------- Mike W
