Default My XR8 220 in now a 5 speed

I got my car bak on the road yesterday after new paint removing the rear spoiler and installing a T5Z bought of a forum member. I have to say the gearbox feels brand new so if anyone ever wants to buy AU parts of GCPURSUITPOWER aka Brett i recommend it. He looks after his cars and parts. I installed a King Cobra clutch from the states and a billet lightened flywheel. I couldnt be happier with the feel of the clutch. The car feels much more responsive now and is alot more fun to drive... All up installed the conversion set me back about 3,500. 1500 for gearbox and all the bits to convert it, 1200 for clutch and flywheel and 800 for mechanic to install.
