[Fot] 5 speed conversion

[David W. Riddle]

One of our Club Members (and member of FOT), Bill Close, makes a 5 
sped conversion kit too that is far less costly then the HDVA 
version.  Bill's email address is Bill Close <b_close at hotmail.com>.

Here is a comment one our our members posted about it.

--------------------
I took my TR6 to Bill Close today and he dropped in the Toyota 5 
speed I picked up at Alma Imports ($200) using the conversion kit he 
developed ($450 for TR6, $400 for TR3 and TR4 I think). Everything 
went smoothly, except when I got in Bill's way. Talk to Bill if you'd 
like him to install it for you like I did his price is very 
reasonable. I took it out on the freeway on the way home and I'm now 
about 2,600 RPM at 65mph and 3,000 at 75 mph, if the speedo is right 
which I'll have to check as I was passing everyone.

If you are thinking about converting to a 5 speed you really should 
contact Bill. It's a great kit!

Count me as one very satisfied customer.
