How's that 2.0 with a stick? They aren't so tough with that faggot dual clutch 6 speed.

Every time I see a vehicle with other car brand items on it, such as Cadillac rims w/badge on a chevy truck. Or mustang rims w/badge on a dodge sedan. I think of Johnny Cash's 'one part at a time' car. lol

Surprised that my 7.5 in my R-word is still going. Fucker is so sloppy.

Just upgrade to a sterling 10.5 you'll never break it . In other news I'm learning my Dana 50 is shit. Did the passenger side hub assembly about a month ago and the driver side went out last night.

It's great. Best car I've ever owned. Hence why I can't justify ditching it as much as I want something cooler or faster. The MTX75 is arguably one of the best, if not the best manual transmissions ever made. It's been around for over 20 years now, and can handle a shit ton of abuse without complaints. You can easily run 500hp thru it without worries of breaking it. Lots of the Mazda 3 guys and Mazda 6 guys swap to it when they do big turbo builds because of how much power it can hold. The 570whp gt35 mazda 3 that hi boost did years ago has it in it. Hell, even some Mazdaspeed 3 guys swapped to it. Got rid of the factory 6 speed in favor of a bulletproof 5 speed.

If I owned a 2wd like you I would have swapped in a 8.8 a long time ago. Even my Jeep has one. I can't say that I would have paid what the PO did to get the 8.8 to work but I like having an axle I know how to work on.

It's relatively strong and easy to setup. But yeah, removable 3rd members rock. Fuck your toyota.
