Ok, so the 3 rotor appears to be sorted! next thing is the gearbox, it needs 6 speeds, 1 st is almost not worth using. :Thumbsup!
When you find a better one than the fd one let me know Normski unless your going to go Auto.

A Agree, nothing wrong with FD box, it\'s great, Just need higher gears, or another one on top!
Wouldn\'t it be easier just to change the diff ratio?
supra twin turbo?
T56 with a custom bellhousing?
Ask Pip about Guru Dog box. Just sold my 6 speed HKS, but still have damaged Guru for-sale.
would a 6speed rx8 box not fit straight on?
6 speed hollinger, they\'re pretty good:cool

No. It\'s a bit more fiddly than that. For starters, the 8 gearbox is a push type clutch, not pull. Also, it\'s not designed to handle the same sort of torque figures as an FD, let alone a 3 rotor.
Tim\'s (RX motors) has recently put an RX-8 6 speed on his FB. So far, so good as far as i understand, but it did need modifying.
Also, remember that many OEM 6 speed gearboxes don\'t have a (much) higher ratio in 6th gear to your 5th gear on your FD. They just have a closer spread of ratios that\'ll give improved on road torque. For example, most 5 speed gearboxes, fourth gear will likely be 1:1, but on 6 speed boxes 5th gear will most likely be 1:1.
Not to say you won\'t be able to get custom ratios though.
Always fancied playing around with something like a DSG box off the new TT - flappy-paddle goodness without the usual lag. R&D would cost a fortune though if you could get one that\'s strong enough!
Thanks for the ideas, I will pass therm on to Pip

The T56 comes with either a 0.62 0r 0.5 and is mega strong (technical term)
I did say many, not all! :p
Is there any stronger than mega then? :D

Ohhhhhh yes......................super mega strong:Thumbsup!
