Came across this on FA, pretty damn interesting stuff. Talk about originality points, but for the cost is it worth it? ehh [http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=154881](http://forums2.freshalloy.com/showthread.php?t=154881) ---

You still have only 4 gears, and a heavy ass auto tranny. Other than that, pretty cool. When I first saw paddle-shifted, I assumed someone went to the extreme trouble to make a system with a set of motors that will shift your manual for you, and a fancy computer program to revmatch your downshifts, etc… Ah well, I guess they saved that one for me 😉 ---

I thought the same thing, when I read about the auto tranny, i thought it was kind of a waste dont you think? youre already going to the extreme why not go all out. Youre right solarian that would have been the proper way to do this. good luck with your project paddle :lol: ---

Hahaha, one day, one day. It’s not that high on my priority list, but I’ve seen a working one, and I get to talk to the people that designed it, so hopefully it’ll happen. ---

Despite the fact its automatically controlled, i think its still a really cool and original design and idea for the 240sx. ---

Points for originality, but Solarian, I’d buy one of those kits from you for sure. ---

That would be cool… if it was coupled with a Hollinger sequential tranny. 8) But who wants to spend in upwards of $10,000 on a transmission. ---
