There are a few guys in Australia with TT Auto Supras looking at getting built boxes. Unfortunately, the prices for sending a box, getting it built, and bringing it back, are prohibitively high. One guy who runs a trans shop has suggested it can be done for considerably less than US shops are charging. I'll let you know if/when they come up with an upgrade.

Bought the built tranny. It will take 7 days to ship. And a couple to put in. I will tell everyone what I think. That is if someone is interested. I will be in LA when its done if anyone wants to meet up to check it out.

Okay the car is being sent to a shop for modification. Local guys in LA couldn't handle it.

Take a look.

Where are you getting your job done at Mike? PM me with info...price too if you don't mind...I'm still shopping around for different places to bring the TT to for the 6spd swap/driveshaft shortening/tunnel widening/rear end installation.

Can't wait to see your finished car...

Some of our customers ahve purchased cores for around $500, had them shipped to us, and we rebuilt them and shipped them internationally. I forgot how much shipping was... but it wasn't a bad deal overall considering you'd have an extra trans now. .

We also build 2jze autos if anyone is interested.. $1800

I havn't read the entire thread... I voted for the SP400 and LSD, but that's only if you have the funds for it.
