lilmike86 search on AusRotary for mx5 conversion info...

ive got a friend who thinks labour and incidentals are gonna cost more than you think

how much does he think it will cost if i paid someone to do it?

how much does he think it will cost if i paid someone to do it?

he says (and i quote)

"id say atleast $15k, probably over $20k"

"im sure the place in adelaide charges around $12k to do it, for 13b"

"i honestly cant see the exhaust manifold fitting in the engine bay, let alone the turbos"

"but i would like to see someone try :ninja:"

but hey sounds like you know a few people so if you wanna do it by all means go for it...

i was just a bit concerned it might be more expensive than you think :)

Now im gonna have to get my car to a body and paint shop to get that fixed...

Arhhhh so upset... Im gonna have a shower I think and a bourben...

Its the easiest thing to do...

just get some fully hectic stickers and put them over the top col :ninja:

what u could do, is remover that panel and just take it down to the body shop

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
