Never had a new box on mine, quite liked the gearbox TBH, only had a new turbo put on it as it was an uprated one

Gets yourself a Seb2 chip/Intercooler and turn it up to 18 psi and you got a nice nippy little motor

that happens when they are abused, gearboxes don't just fuck up because of bad build design or whatever, i really pmsl when people say ' i aint getting one of them cars, the engines blow up' and they rag the shit out of the motor, then wonder why it's knackered

if he's offering you a 96 GT + money for a tarted up 93 SRi its......
A: fucked
B: he's dumb
Check it out...... if its cool, take it and run before he wakes up
They are reliable cars if they are looked after...... reg oil/plug changes etc
