christ they pin them together with alot of em, took me ages to undo the pigging things

though good news means its all be done now just gotta worry about getting it BACK together pmsl

 

Why are you striping an impreza box? Interesting project?

 

Because he has an Impreza and the boxes keep breaking lol

 

not to mention i was too busy at work to buy your box you had that i missed it so thought " fuck it how do these things work"

i really have to update my sig at somepoint,,,,, ive had the impreza 3 years so far and the cossie was nicked close to 5 years ago now pmsl

 

I've still got a box So did you find out how they work? lol

 

Which Box is it?

 

you aint got a uk box,,,, cant be arsed to change ANOTHER diff so thought,,, fuck it why not give building it a go,,,,, then i can spec it with a plated fron diff (if i find one cheep enough) and hope it lasts longer than 3 weeks

though last box died when i loaned it to a mate,,,, who is a fucking animal with driving and it currently pinned together after crashing his 430bhp fiesta ST,,,,, so thought if i just dont let him drive it again ill be fine pmsl

 

impreza ty52 from a V3 STI impreza,,,, if i dont bother getting it back together at least ill never need to buy another bolt or nut ever again

 

Get a 6spd, fit and forget!

 

sorry but 2k for a second hand gearbox,,,, fuck fit and forget id rather have a box with a LSD at the front and ratios i know about

besides part of the car experience is the fun of messing about with them,, if i wanted fit and forget no hassle option i would sell my impreza and buy a later STI impreza with the box fitted as standard

 

Fair enough! But I know people who spent far more in the long run going for the "cheap option"!

 

mate if i have to spend 2k on a second hand box i would rather fit a 200 quid box, sell the car and buy a evo and start again if im honest

only reason why i dont have a evo is the money i have put into the car on getting it to handle better, the next box the car breaks then it gets sold as i HATE the image of the subaru and just enjoy driving it, 2k is half the selling price of the car , 6k plus another 2k gets me a nice evo

rebuilding a box will cost me around 500 quid,,,, my last box ( that i have stripped) had a blocked breather( silicon over spill) and whining bearing

last box was killed by a mate who powershifted it rather than the power of the car killed the gearbox
