A friend had one on a renault 5 turbo a few year ago. It was really good but it didn't come cheap. It cost him 4 grand, it was worth more than the car

Seam to be a lot cheaper these days like

All production cars with 'sequential transmissions'; Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, BMW (with the possible exception of SMART) etc., use a conventional H pattern gearbox with a cunning electronic shift adaption; designed to give the impression of 'sequential shift'.

Real sequential transmissions cost thousands and thousands of pounds to manufacture.....

wat u listin cars for? ehh lad i think we all know that "real" seq trannies for rally cars cost thousands, i didnt say that, did u not see that site and read about it?
it says it does the job, obviously if u have a lil standard mini metro it aint gonna matter a toss, but if u got somethin quick like an RA or Type R with the very close ratios then it would be a nice little job, cud save time on 1/4 mile drags

I did look actually, but all I found were Power FCs and they took some looking for (so they did :) )

I listed the cars, particularly the Ferrari, to make my point. I know a fellow with one and he's adamant that its a fully sequential box...

jaaaysus, go to the link ok?e then look on the left and click on IKEYA FORMULA! then ul see it, looks like a right job, 1000euros, bout 750 sterling i thinks

It's pretty amazing they've made that system work with only mechanical gubbins. Be interesting to know how it feels to drive with; it looks a bit of a monster!

Bloody hell flat4 take it easy lad. You'll give yourself blood pressure problems.

Looks a nice piece of kit. Would be handy for very quick 60 times. Not out for impreza yet tough.
