They may be sequential, but not on the stock gearbox like this toy does.

I wonder how much it costs... probably something rediculous like $2k.

Kai, Man I looked so hard for a solid turbo FC before I settled on the CRX. I still keep and eye out but have not seen anything.

Turbo II's sell for WAY too much anyway. I'm looking to sell my FC and the Civic to buy my uncle's 86 base/Sport package... then TII swapping it. Kinda like a poor boy's Infini I

I thought they made a sequential tranny for the teg but it was around 10k. But you can't beat it. Nothing will ever shift faster.

i think it would only benefit in drag racing where you dont down shift, or track racing when you constantly shift and miss shifting can cost you the race. But for daily driving, it won't help much

Oh. I just checked that link. That's a rachet shifter. They use those in racing. There's still a clutch though. It just eliminates the h pattern to save shifting time. The sequential tranny though. That's where it's at.
