    I'd have to agree that the cost is going to be an issue (despite the obvious quality of the product), a lot of 4A owners baulk at $400+ for a bellhousing to adapt the Wxx boxes so $1400+ will be a little steep for a lot of people even for the gain of a nicer box.

    costs are simple to show.... 2 failed attempts!

    THEN paying a CNC and programmer.............

    as with anything you must walk before you can run... and before you walk, you fall quite a bit.

    I very much understand the cost to value issue. Toyota made half a million ae86s??? Of 500,000 cars produced, isn't there 25 current owners who would invest that kind of $$??

    Besides AE86 owners..... I'm hoping to also market it to the 4A racing world as a lower cost option to racing transmissions like Quaife.

    I'm also thinking of kit car uses... like Caterham, or similar

    kit cars would be a good option perhaps.

    any chance of getting it into jappie dorifto series? if some big name dude uses one, and it gets into themagazines, and the videos.. should make at least 1 or 2 sales

    car mag here in USA called Grassroots Motorsport. It is marketed mostly to enthusiest and low buck racers.... Rob(the owner to Pineapple Racing) knows them and it is distinctly possible it'll get magazine exposer.....
