Hi

I have been designing this conversion for a while now but recently I have lost interest really tbh and with a garage full of stuff which isn’t going on my car but is draining my account, I think it’s probably best I sell it on nearly finished as I have done 90-95% of it. There has been a lot of interest in one of these conversions for a long time now and after collecting certain items when they are available and designing some custom parts to fit it all together, the conversion should allow a much improved return in mpg on normal driving and also a much lower rpm on motorway driving.

Please note I have not fitted this to a car but unfortunately spend a sad amount of time with them so I am pretty confident that everything should fit together nicely.

What is included in the conversion:
Compatible 6-speed gearbox
6-speed gear linkage and gear lever including bracket to connect lever to the ST shell.
6-speed conversion driveshaft parts
New block mount
AP racing custom organic clutch (RRP £300+ - Please read below as needs a tweak)
OEM gearbox lower bracket and conversion lower mounts (polybushing is available for an extra £40)
Parts to connect ST clutch line to the 6-speed slave (I can buy a new one for £50 extra – please don’t skimp on one lol)

Whats still needed
I haven’t gotten around to making a top mount for it yet. I may try and make a jig up this weekend to make one.

Also with the AP racing clutch, my measurements were very slightly out for the holes to fit the ST flywheel and as such the clutch will need the holes for the flywheel elongating slightly.

It’s a great opportunity to have a proper one off and perfect for a car that does a lot of miles. If the slave or clutch has gone it’s a perfect time to change over and sell the IB5. Price really does not reflect the silly hours that has gone into finding the parts and designing bits etc

Price is 850 posted

Thanks, Si

Good luck with the sale Si, sounds like a right load of work gone into that

would be so interested but seeing as its not tryed and tested im out...

how is it done though? i.e. to get the 6 speed box etc. im surprised theres not more out there

Thanks Alex - yeah one thing keeping me sane whilst waiting for the fecking car lol

Nosnow - you always need a first person to bite the bullet mate - will definately be unique

you can fit it to my car and il be the genuie pig... next problem is, it has to be free

hmmmmm...........

that price could be an issue lol

tell you what you can fit it to mine for free and i'll be the promotional tester and will write a good review? deal?
the idea and way it works has to make you more money in the future with everyone wanting 6 speed boxes

what if you pay for the box and if anything goes wrong Si can fix and repair it? get a written warranty between you.

you can't get it for free even if your testing the box out thats someone hard earned work there.

Chill, was a joke, well thats how i intended it...

sorry if it wasnt viewed that way

Id love a six speed gear box, especially if it meant my Piper decat back was quiet on the motorway lol! But Id rather spend the money on other things. Sounds like a steal for someone whos after one tho!

Thanks - yeah it a great opportunity for someone.

If someone wants a crack at making there own, i have been offered one more box for £300

would be good to see a video with one fitted going through the gears etc - fiesta always feels like it could do with shorter ratios 3-4-5 and could do with a 6th!

lots of interest but still available - wont be doing another one - definately after this!!

Parts now available seperately as need to free up space for other parts etc

Right - this is ridiculous!!

600 quid and i will not ever be doing one of these ever again!!
