It all depends on how you drive it! I reckon it's bound to go sooner than later, as we're not all grannies around here

You big puff, ha ha!! 
(thats what I voted anyway).
Mine's on 92500 and still OK. Changed my gearbox oil at 75k.
If mine breaks, I'll have to sell my BBS RM to fund the repairs

The gearbox is kinda like a ticking time bomb,
So a box fund wouldn't be a bad idea.
If i was earning money, i'd have one!
