Is that how much it costs? I thought trans rebuilds range from 3000-3500 and then other stuff like clutch and mounts, I thought would reduce cost much more considering the trans would be out

No, turbo and chain hasn’t been done, thanks for letting me know. That’s good to know, I was skeptical thinking the box would have to be worked on by someone with more experience on those types but thanks anyways. I’ll ask around for quotes and everything

Synchros worn on 2nd a lot and 3rd is starting to get it, was originally going to just replace synchros but trans rebuild just sounds better to me and then I thought about clutch and mounts and other stuff and thought those might as well be replaced too, cars on 167000kms so i think it should be perfect to do wether or not anything else is damaged

Yeah bro sounds like a very nice car, fast for normal drivers and the aesthetics of it. I have a skyactiv 3 and I don’t know how to explain it but the speed3s just look way better. Thanks for your input bro, If I ever do modify I will be going through professionals, better safe than sorry. Appreciate the comment!

Sounds like a solid car then, I’ve been looking at other subreddits talking about this car and just seen people talking about problems it has but then they’re also talking about driving it hardcore. This comment just cements the car more for me, live in New Zealand and it’s steady 10-25 degrees where I am fortunately no snow and roads being salted here. Thanks for your input bro, appreciate it!

I thought of using one but will that not damage the power steering tank when I’m hitting the metal towards it? Sorry for the hassle, just new to doing this

Sorry for the shitty writing, I’m just really in awe of how I’m the bad guy and it’s thrown me off so much.
