So... I've been investigating this thing called "manual transmission" something that my car does not have. Therefore i have decided to acquire this new discovery and implement it into my beautiful but manualless VH.

I've found so far that i will be using the 5 speed Toyota Supra gearbox. I've talked to my mechanic (Thanks Darren for the help) and acquired a list of **** to get for the conversion.

Here it is. If i am missing something or if someone could elaborate to help me out, i would appreciate it.

1. Supra Box and shifter
2. Clutch pedal and clips
3. Clutch cable?
4. Speedo Cable
5. Bolts for the fly wheel
6. Bolts for the clutch to the flywheel
7. Preasure plate
8. Pilot Bush?
9. Flywheel
10. Tailshaft
11. Bellhousing and pivot

So this is what i have been researching about, if anyone could help me out with the conversion in terms of what i need before i begin, i would REALLY appreciate it.

Not to sure but will the speedo cable need to be changed or a different gear for the speedo ? Just a thought .

Was going to update tommorow, but what the hell some people were interested (ok maybe one person).

I did decide to lower it:

Painted rocket cover ( :rofl: ) only one at this point. (BTW i'm calling it a Rocket Cover from now on, just to mess with people)

My cat, having a good time:

My VERY unproffecional setup to change the springs and shocks:

V8 Inside...

Pedders shortent shocks and lowered suspension:

It was dark by the time i finished so, will take some pics tommorow, and have to do the front tommorow:

Rocker cover made a nice difference, it coming up neat:thumbsup:

Nice rocker cover lol. Nah, makes it look heaps cleaner!!!

Also, I know of someone telling a T5 conversion for a VH on another forum if you're interested? I think they want about 1500 or something for the whole lot. If you're interested I'll grab the link for you.

Oooh tempting but the conversion isn't going to happen until next year, unless i win the lotto (but i don't play, so what the hell am i talking about).

I'll take a peak at the link
