i agree, seriously...

OP, great car. be good to see her getting driven!

Hi Sam,

Awesome pick up mate, love the car and can't believe the low km's. Quality car deserves a quality exhaust.. go see Norm Butler and get him to quote up the job for you, then talk to ASG regarding a tune. Good luck.

Thanks guys, I don't remember who I spoke to at MMS but I believe it was someone who knows what they're talking about cos the guy who picked up the phone said to me that he'll get the guy who knows all about the older sti's to call you back. Yes the guy knew it had done 17000kms...it seemed crazy to me. He said "hand on heart, if you get a tune and an exhaust next week we'll be getting you a new 6 speed transmission"...

Anyway he basically said just leave it as it is or it will break, but I reckon a tune and an exhaust is a must for this car. What do u mean by watching the flywheel?

It was such a rare find, I was about to pull the trigger on a C63 with a performance pack but saw this- shows you how much I love the old sti's...

I heart MMS but what's with telling people not to tune and if they do they'll need a new 6spd... Not like everyone does limiter launches and there's plenty of 5spds with a tune (more power) out there and are still alive!!! :rolleyes:

What have you been smoking bro?

C63 alllllllll day!

I think people think the GC8s are more fragile than they actually are. I have 147500kms on mine and its driven hard EVERY DAY. My box is fine, my engine is fine and i have done plenty of 6000rpm launches.
I think its more about proper regular servicing and having "some kind" of mechanical sympathy. But I have had NO!!!! issues what so ever.

Just in case I have googled second hand gearboxs and motors and have found plenty. So i dont think parts for them are rare (yet)

Quoted for when you strip second gear and/or spin a big end bearing :p

Seriously lol'd at they want your parts.

When you look at their capabilities and what they have in their workshop the parts wouldn't even rate a mention.

Some people just prefer the Nokia 5110 over the fancy touch screen doodad whatsumagig telephones of today :p.
