Cheers for the replys fellaz,
I had a sss reverse 5 speed in my old 1600, took 5 years of complete punishment before breaking, so they are strong enough.
Well thats about aslong as i plan to use the box for.. and it should last longer if its been fully rebuilt but for the price its gona cos to rebuild my SSS i could probably get Nick's R30 posted up..
decisions decisions..
Errol at DatRats has a R30 box for sale:

Might be a wee bit out of your budget though...
Just a tad
cheers anyway.
I've got a Stanza SSS 5 speed in my 1600, behind a mild L18.
Its taken some punishment as a rally car before I got it, I thrashed it round the street for quite a few years, and now its doing track day duties. Never had a problem, still shifts really nicely.
Well your car Dave was the first one that came to my mine when i thought about my SSS.."daves got one in his track car and it has survived its track day useage and daily
"
So many pros n cons....
I'd sell you my R30 gearbox ($350 ono) that I had in my car before I ripped it out, but i don't like the chances of mailing it up there
Im considering it .. but it would have to be after christmas.. have you still got the box ?
postage shouldn't be too bad if you can strap it to a pallet and put it on a truck
.
Btw, i just went an picked up my early
christmas presents off my parents .. 2 new Autotechnica Bucket Seats
. Fully black also got a pair of black n grey ones but they wont suit the rest of my interior so im giving them to my bro.. making my whole interior all black apart from the white roof
