Speaking of which. A hollinger sequential 6-speed would be nice if they weren't so expensive...

the lack of synchromesh wouldn't bother me.

How does a sequential handle stopping in a higher gear? Is it like a motorbike where you can crunch on down through?

What sorta money are we looking at?

Quaife make a sequential six speed to replace the R380, but that isn't much chop for a 4BD1.

The ratios are a bit close too.....

I love face 'dog 'boxes, the change is so crisp and fast and clutchless changes are a snap, but I'd be worried about dog faces long term after you miss time a few too many changes.
