[QUOTE="loafer, post: 498858, member: 10508"] If I were you I'd rebuild the engine and gearbox. To save cost on parts you can purchase them on your own. If you have friends in Singapore get them to buy from Eng Soon and maybe you can get a runner to have it sent to JB then you can collect there. It's cheaper than getting it locally here. Once you have the overhaul kit just head over to your favourite mechanic and get him to work on the rebuilding. As for gearbox you can get it rebuilt for around 3-4k I believe. Not too sure about the prices for gearbox rebuild so ask around. Why I prefer rebuilding compared to buying low mileage halfcut as suggested by zulcarn9e? Well for one, a low mileage halfcut is really rare. Even if it's low mileage, you won't know how long that halfcut has been in the chopshop. At least when you rebuild the engine/gearbox with new parts you know for a fact that it'll last. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
