Hi all,
i want to convert my fto from auto to manual, but i want to know if it is posible to change it from 4 gears straight 2 6 gears? also would i be able to fit a gear box from an evo into my fto (n which evo if possible)? and how much would this all cost me?

6 speed??
what car has a 6 speed to suit the fto :S and why would you want a 6 speed?
i know my s15 does and a lot of people change it to a 5 speed.

but yeh with that aside..... what would be the best gear box to put in?

Highway driving perhaps? Fuel economy?

Am I the only one who hates pulling 3500 rpm at cruising speed?

Thats seems rather high? i'm pulling just tad over 3000 in 4 spd tip
what size are your wheels or is your speedo out possibly?

I have a manual GR and I sit on 3000rpm at 100kph.

The fuel economy would be amazing on the highway if it was possible to bring the rpm down through different gearing.
