.. nothing wrong with my old one, just for bling reasons.
I dipped into the Toyota parts bin for everything, modified a lot of it and came up with a very OEM looking solution. The linkage had to adapt onto stock Mk2 cables, navigate the starter motor and reverse the direction of operation onto both the gate and selector shafts, not an easy thing to do.(taken from Celica C60 transmissions) stacked one on top of the other, allow the cables to remotely operate both selectors reversely, so a push on a cable at the stick end results in a pull action at the gearbox, the pivot arms are all the same length so there is no increase or reduction in throw on either cable. The gear selector droplinks are Mk3 Mr2 ones that have been extended to length.
(special 23 spline one for the Scion TC) and the awesome Helix autosport pressure plate, the perfect combo in my opinion. This is bolted to a modified Mk2 turbo flywheel. I go steel these days instead of Fidanza, we're seeing better acceleration in the midrange with them, call it the stored inertia in a heavier flywheel if you will (i'll leave that one for the physics nerds to debate), either way they feel better.

I think I will go turbo flywheel, I think it's better suited in terms of inertia and harmonics., cant wait for a go pro shake down

.. sure you'll have together in no time .. i made a left side gearbox hanger, nothing special, just a flat plate with an Mr2 mount ring welded to it and a polybush insert, i've spaced it to the front for better bolt access.
... on the Mk1 2gr (with EB60) i kept the turbo bearing carrier and made an intermediate bracket, that worked very well, so i'll do the same here.
... absolute gold dust, you saw it here first.

I'm going to try to keep this one.
I've also used a Mk3 clutch flexi which worked plug and play with the Scion slave cylinder, bled the clutch and i now have a working clutch and all 7 gears. I need to adjust one of the pivot arms to give less throw, it's currently a bit long from 3rd to 4th.
.. yeah tuck up that blitz for perfect showing .. Hats off to you mate 
I'm also going to notch the subframe where the exhaust goes over it, it has always bugged me that a 3" system doesn't have enough free room in that area and can knock on hard launches, so it will be modified to suit and the subframe cleaned/painted at the same time.

... this is Marks and Spencer finest Lotus spaghetti....
Why the Mk3 you ask? Well it uses a crank sensor signal (NE+/NE-) just like the 2gr has, when i put this engine into a Mk3 i T into the crank sensor signal so that the ECU still sends a tacho output to the clocks, so same deal here, the Lotus ECU has no tach output so i am creating one. The Mk2 tacho board will then be configured the same way it would be for a 1mz install, basically bridge out the ballast resistor and fit a 19 turn 10k pot across the calibration resistor and it will work perfectly. I can't use a Mk2 ECU because it has a coil based tach output and uses distributor signals instead, it might be possible to fire a Mk2 ignitor via a 2gr coilpack signal, that is a guess... and then use the ignitor tach output in the normal way.... just throwing that one out there it might not be that simple, but i do know using a Mk3 ECU will sort it., I love wiring and macgyver jerry rigging too .. best of luck ...... looking forward to new years This isn't cosmetically finished yet but looks much better than the old design.
(not needed) they will be keeping the ECU fault code free.PW@Woodsport wrote:prevents reverse being engaged instead of 1st gear, another job off the list.
