What he said. Stock tranny longevity depends if you are retarded or not, how goodhart had trouble with his at only 250/250 is pretty amazing.

I broke my center diff after about 10k of idiotic type launches but I can say at least 50 were on that one, after that I realized if I didn't want to break them I should be nicer.

There are plenty of people with some 135+ cars on stock trans, don't be an idiot with it and it will be good to you.

4 spiders are awesome, if you don't mind and are on a budget you can do a welded diff, i only say that because of the awesome ebay clutch you linked too.

These cars can go pretty quick on teh cheap, but don't be stupid.
