Here's a writeup on how it's done:

MKI MR2 Write-ups

This is to a c52, but the same applies to the s54.
I've drilled boxes in fact my mkII is running one after the original blew up. All I see is a difference in ideals because I personally don't see the need to spend any money when it shifts like butter as it stands. I just got home from racing it this minute and it came third in class for the day and took 3 people for rides in it......2 of which enjoyed it....the other was scared sh**less

Im not sure if youve ever done budget racing or racing as a general hobby but it is not for the poor or even working class...as parts are freaking expensive..when you have more than one car to keep on making a fab bracket vs drilling out a tranny seems like a perfectly good option..50USD could be spent somewhere else when the bracket was free and 328FTMFW!
My point in a not so subtle manner It's basically the nail on the head I have 6 cars that I'm trying to keep running any way possible, I can't really afford 6 cars in reality but reality is overrated anyway

I could post videos of some of the cars that turned out today and you would sh** yourself at what they have spent on them..........and they still don't have anywhere near the fun I have in my old 2. I will continue doing such things to my car and I intend to have fun with it, I'm not worried about people that don't approve of what I do or knock on it I can guarantee that its the last thing on my mind when I'm out having fun in it......shifting all the while of course Getting pissy about it won't change a thing and neither will arguing.
