"AZ6 Swap Available!"

I just got off the phone with Rob Golden(owner Pineapple Racing) and the news is VERY exciting! The final engineering on the AZ6 swap is coming along after a long delay. The progress is so encourging that we are now taking pre-orders!! Rob has set up a new email EXCLUSIVELY for this.

Ok... why pre-order?

Well there are a few reasons...

* First, We need to know how many people are buying so we can prepare the caster and machinist. Since this swap is not a HUGE production run we need to book THEIR TIME NOW! These folks are fitting this tiny project into their massive regular production schedules. If we don't get pre-orders we'll never be able to book them and orders will get strung out... and nobody wants any issues like that.

* Secondly MX5 or RX8 AZ6s are not the only AZ6's in the world, the AZ6 is used in the later S15 and the Lexus IS200Altezza(SXE10) and it was brought to my attention that shipping an entire transmission would add a considerable shipping cost. Rob and I talked it over and to accommodate ALL interested parties there will be three "kits" available, including a kit with just the minimum parts.

* Finally, the total bolt in kit project (kit 3 below) is still based on MX5 AZ6 availability**, the sooner your in, the sooner we can track down a viable AZ6s to fill your needs.


kit 1 - just the casted and machined adapter and the grafted/splined input shaft... you supply the AZ6!! - $995.00
EDIT - ADDED
kit 1a - the cast adapter, the input shaft a shortened tailhousing and shifter rod, a correctly sized driveshaft. The tail housing and driveshaft are both CORES... Pineapple can not supply these, but they will have your CORES properly modified to assemble a complete AZ6 swap for the AE86 - $2200.00
kit 2 - AZ6 swap - adapter, AZ6 transmission NOT shortened - you finish - $2200.00
kit 3 - complete AZ6 swap - adapter for bellhousing, AZ6 transmission(shortened, ready for a bolt in to the AE86) $3200.00 (not too bad... our target was $3000 last year)

Well I've done what I promised... With massive help from Pineapple Racing, a transmission upgrade was developed to replace the less than desirable T50. The T50 is, and always was the real weak point of the AE86 drivetrain, slow shifting, poor ratios, etc. The three kits are being offered as a response to you.. the AE86 community from all over the world... since you asked for more ways to afford this.

Now it is ALL up to you.... send Rob an email [email protected]

this is a new email... Rob said it would be up soon.... if you get a failed message, I'm sure it will be working before too long.....

The new email is to express your interest... and ask your concerns.... Rob is a VERY upstanding PROFESSIONAL businessman... and has been involved in more projects than I can describe. Being the professional he is, means he is VERY busy... If you want to "chat" about this... by all means post here... or in the other thread...I'll be happy to answer what I can.... PLEASE keep the [email protected] email for those who are TRULY interested, and have EVERY intention of making a purchase of one of the three available kits.
