westie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Changing to 5 speed should be straight forward. A five speed box was standard in the GL.Oh, and welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yep 5speed will bolt straight in, cv's will all fit etc. 2et will physically bolt in but you will need to either modify the turbo s engine loom to suit your carby chassis, or swap the whole lot over from a donor turbo s. You'll also need the fuel tank and lines (or run a surge tank and lift pump etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinjau Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for the replies guys!I'm hopefully off to take a look at it tommorow seems in very good conditions - and only 135.000km on the clockThe ultimate goal is to convert it to the 2E TE engine and make it look something like this - altough I wish for a more original look, and in the same colour as my Turbo MR2 AW11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
