Maybe if you talked to the vendor and found out how many they needed to give a discount and posted a link to the kit that you have in mind you'd at least have a chance at it.

I keep thinking about it so put me on the 'interested list'. I want to convert ot a 5 speed but all the little things that are required to switch to a T5 keep bugging me. I can also drop that one in my Formula since I am not a fan of the auto trans in performance cars.

I am going to be converting my car soon enough so I would be interested if there were some "real" discount however their pricing seems a bit expensive to begin with

I'm interested in doing the conversion as well, but the timing is not real good since I want to put this in with a new stroker I want to build.

But if the "discount" is right................... :yesnod:

I ordered mine a while back and was gonna have them put it in for me. But after having to wait about a month with still more waiting, I am gonna drive over tomorrow and pick up my tranny and bring it home. I figure I have done everything else so why not do this to.

I've been toying with the idea of converting too. And I like their kit cuz it's got everything in it, so I don't have to scrounge around for parts here and there. BUT, it's a little pricey right now, however, if the discount is right . . . :smash: I'm interested.

Maybe call Keisler and tell them your idea. If they agree to a discount they would probably require a minimum amount of purchasers. That would probably be a good start. Go for it! :thumbs: :cheers: :party:

Thanks for bringing this up, I am still undecided but if we can work a group purchase with a nice discount then I am leaning towards going this route. Hope it doesn't sit in my house like the Steeriods is still doing since I bought it early this year. :)

Thanks again Signguy! :thumbs:

A member who uses my mechanic just returned his, as it was not a direct bolt-in as stated, lots of problems. I can't remember what he went with Richmond or ? but he did get his full refund. Just something to consider - I think his CF name is SAMMAN from Richmond Hill.

It does not have some of the things that are offered from the keilser unit like the shifter relocation and the drive shaft. Cheaper but may take longer to install with you having to do some customizing. Really it depends on how much you value your own time and skills. To have it all togther and ready to install is worth at least a few hundred bucks to me.
