And the test car is back on the road! It’s going good. I just received a couple vids of him going through a few gears in low boost taking it a little easy. Im leaning into him for some more spicy footage! If all stays well for this round, I hope to get him to try full send any day.

Hey phunk! I know you got a lot of irons in the fire but you need to get this conversion kit going like yesterday. I got to take a ride with Seb a week ago and all I can say is holy crap. It was phenomenal!!! The shifts were amazingly quick and the acceleration was seamless and powerful all the way through the gears. There is nothing like being pinned to the back of the seat for the whole run through the gears. I was speechless and didn't get any video because I was just so blow away and waiting for the next run. I know there are a few idiosyncrasies that Seb is working out but...come on man, this is a game changer for sure!!!

Thanks for the push! I definitely lost some of my momentum on the project while waiting for final install and testing and then started putting my energy into other places. The other day Seb was starting to ask me about production parts too. So I cleaned off my CAD desk at home and gathered all my files and notes from machining.

I need to spend a few hours and make a new "final edition" CAD file set that takes in the things I changed while machining and test fitting, which fortunately wasn't much. With that made, I am going to hand the files over to a machine shop to produce the adapter.

I decided against machining them in-house. Aside from having my hands full on production, I really didnt have parts of this shape and size in mind when I was purchasing machinery. So its a little cumbersome for me to make anyway. Production will go start to finish much quicker this way than waiting for me.

Once I clean up the CAD, I think I could get finished parts in 6 weeks maybe less.

That sounds awesome! I know Seb has received a bunch of inquiries since he last posted Instagram. He has received over 3400 views on his last post of his test drive. Check it out if you get a chance!

A batch of 10 kits are being made. 5 are sold. 5 are left to be purchased.

Man, if I get this conversion, my wife will be all over my car driving it to work everyday lol.

My car being manual is the only reason my wife had to "settle" for her 2016.

My wife can drive a manual. She is too afraid to drive my car. She drove my 300zxtt back in the day.

She did ok with mine, but kissed that goodbye when she forgot to switch to neutral and let clutch out while in a parking spot....car rolled fwd....first scar to the car shortly after we bought it. front bumper and that stupid lip slightly damaged...just enough to be an eye sore....

You can use the paddles and hide reverse/drive buttons under the seat. Well actually better to leave it not solid mounted because youll have to pretend to be shifting it any time she rides along.
