Hey all, I have some rearend issues (don't chuckle) with my ride and I was looking into doing this conversion. It seems to be the perfect fit.. rear discs (i need brakes anyway) and 3.73 gears (autos.. sounds like the 5spds had 3.55s). Has anyone here done it or know what all I'd need to get to do a complete swap? Thanks!

Done it, very easy. Do a search on turbocoupe and you should find several threads.
Here is the article I used:

I didn't use the TC brake parts as I wanted the 5 lug mark VII parts, but it should be easy enough. You need to replace the master cylinder, gut & plug the PV and get an adjustable one. Matt90GT has the info on his brake upgrade pages if you haven't seen it:

Good luck!
