As above.
Before i track my car i need a new clutch..
1 can you get a lightened flywheel for these
Two can i fit a 6 speed box to my car for better track aceleration and lsd or are shafts etc different?
Cheers
Shafts go straight in to the 6 speed only thing you might have problems with is selecting reverse if your using the 5 spped cage but if you pm either patrick (Headcase) or myself we can tell you how to sort that
5 and 6 speed boxes have the same 1-4 gear ratios, it is only 5 and 6 that are changed to make better crusing. So for track use I doubt you would notice any difference.
Import gearboxes are better for track cars I was looking at the diff ratios of the Celica 140 but cannot get a good answer

This is what I know in respect of the Celica:
VVT-i gearbox ratios:-
Final Drive 4.31:1
1st Gear Ratio 3.17:1
2nd Gear Ratio 1.9:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.31:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.03:1
5th Gear Ratio 0.86:1
6th Gear Ratio 0.73:1
VVTL-i gear ratios:-
Final Drive 4.53:1
1st Gear Ratio 3.17:1
2nd Gear Ratio 2.05:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.48:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.17:1
5th Gear Ratio 0.92:1
6th Gear Ratio 0.82:1
Dave - do you know what the diff ratio of the MR2 import box is?
A lot of people i talk to say the 5 speeds action is more precise. The 6 CAN be a bit vague

Dean, at Rutland MR2 , who sells stuff to the racers, told me they go for the import 5-speed box with an LSD installed.

Before I bought my 2, this was before I knew of the ROC, I spoke to the local Toyota dealer about servicing costs.
The service Manager asked whether the car I was considering had a 5 or 6 speed box as the 5 speed was a " better box".
I've owned both and prefer the 5 speed, its very direct.
Standard UK mr2 box is 3.9 ratio diff so a 6 speed celica plus uk lsd and uk 6th might be good
