The sooner you realise that you bought a lemon that has been for sale for over a year and you must also qualify as the stupidest person to ever own a gtx.
Any smart person would have googled 'familia gtx' and would have found this and many other threads warning the world NOT to buy your car.
You are Roger and you have given us no proof otherwise.

Do not base your opinion towards this car due to your bad experiences. Just because you have had a very unpleasent experience with this car, doesnt mean everybody will have same.

As i have provided in the list, the car has a mazda gtr gearbox, which is twice as strong as normal from what i was explained. So to answer your major negative association towards gearboxes, i have yet to experienceanything going wrong with it.

May i just say that if you treat a car good, it will do the same to you. I have not bought a lemon so quit your stupid imagination. On what basis are you certifying this car as a lemon, hu. Do you own the car, do you drive it, NO, so go back where you came from.


You wish you had a gtx that was really good, but you havent.

gtr and gtx gearbox is exactly the same thing. there is a different gearbox out there for the BG but im not telling u which one cus next u will start claiming it has that one..
we ALL know its a lemon because most ppl here KNOW the person that sold that car to the person "you bought it off" (ie roger cordia ie you)

BTW Tony, the GT-X and GT-R gearboxes do have different/strengthened internals.

The "difference" is a groove in the middle of the gear's teeth to promote better oil flow. Everyone on FL disputes that the materials are actually any stronger, however. GTRs break gearboxes the same way that GTXs do, so if there is any benefit to the GTR box, it's not worth double the strength of a GTX box. All the guys running big power [300whp+] all went to FWD hybrid G series boxes in any case...

[NewGTXowner]

I appreciate peoples desire to warn me about a "So called lemon", its something that is natural to warn others etcetra, but as i have explained a million times, there is nothing about this car that would warrant a lemon status.

Whatever it was between you all and the previous owner has nothing to do with me. I have the car, it aint a lemon so just accept it. This is coming from the horses mouth of the new owner.

[70NYD]

ok if its not a lemon rihgt now its cus the bannas he stuffed in to the diff are holding it togther, and all the gap sealers he stuffed in it are holding the cracks in the radiator and engine oil chanels together.. they will let go soon n ul c
have fun horsee

hey newGTX, perhaps you havnt experienced problems because you are driving it like you drove your supa fast POS cordia that beat a subaru and a lancer?
i have a pranged up '92 323 1.6l sohc sitting in my yard that has a busted fuel pump...wanna race your GTX for slips? come on whats the risk i mean if you lose im taking a piece of sh*t off you if you win you will actually have a car worth bragging about....my 323
and that pic is obviously not you i mean who would actually post a pic like that if it was really them? not to mention i have seen that pic many times on various comedy emails etc

Really? Nothing wrong?

Gas struts on boot lid dont hold up
Turbo using oil
Minor rocker cover gasket leak
Minor oil leak near compressor cover
Water thermo fan operated by incabin switch.
Reverse lights dont wor

You really are retaded...

[chicaboo]

Actually, he admitted to ppl asking questions on eBay that there were even more issues. Then he would proceed to tell them what a good deal the car is and how cheap it is, even though they didn't ask about that. You've got to remember that this car sold above reserve at least twice in the $3000 bracket, and the winning buyers didn't take the car. You're a d!ckhead Roger...

To those people that said that there is no diffrence between the GTR and GTX gearbox in the strength department, you need more lessons before talking rubbish.

When they get a gearbox and shotpeen the internals, thats X1 intervention towards having a strengthen gearbox. Thats X1 more strenght over a standard GTX gearbox.


So far, only one person in this forum has confirmed this fact, and that is Rup, the rest, go back to school.

Ummm, 10 X1 = 10. Which is the same...

[Flyblown]

hey GTX owner how do you know that it is a GTR box and not a TX3 box? and how can you tell ?and if it is what internals have been shot peened? is that factory shot peen or
aftermarket shot peen is reverse done as well. What does shot peening do?

[chicaboo]

Fly: Shot-peening is where they fire little beads [like sandblasting] at the surface of the metal to close any fissures or surface imperfections that could possibly lead to breaks. In any case, those who have spent the money on the full PAR gear-set [the gears themselves are virtually unbreakable] have still broken their gearboxes housings. You can make the individual gears as strong as you like, but the boxes still break due to shaft separation at high load, which basically splits the box in half!

The guy with the 10sec 350whp B6T powered KE TX3 [that $#!Ts on anything Rogercordia has or ever will own], has cuffed his FWD G series gearbox, and has racked up a lot of passes with an otherwise standard gearbox, by eliminating the shaft separation to a large degree. My spare box has a full 626 diff/gear-set with a PAR 3rd gear as a cheap solution to the fragile box. If I did what this guy did and cuffed my box, it'd be pretty tough, but it's still a relatively weak Mazda box...

So, the point is, the GTR gearbox is not stronger than a GTX or GT gearbox, but the gears themselves are slightly better due to shot-peening [but not twice as strong as some dumb fark retards would tell you]. So strengthening the gears just defers the failure from the typical 3rd gear breaking, to the shaft separation issue, which completely roots the whole gearbox. Not that GTR shot-peened gears are anywhere as strong as PAR gears...

Here's a little quote from a rally dude on OMC - "The Familia GTR gearbox isn't much stronger then the BG GTX gearbox if at all. The shotpeening on the gears would have all worn off by now & the rumoured stronger gear case hasn't been proved by a metallurgy lab, it just looks the same & is the same thickness." So if shot-peening loses it's effectiveness from chipped teeth, high kms, poor maintenance or excessive heat cycles over 20 years, it's eventually only as good as every other GTX gearbox. Anyhow, it's best to ask a transmission or shot-peening expert about the expected longevity and added strength from the process, and not some dumb fark from St Marys...



And since Turbocreator/Rogercordia challenged us all to find a better GTX than his, so I did:
http://sydney.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-...AdIdZ187329623

Half the kms and almost $1000 cheaper. Fark you Roger!

[miah87]

That car from sydnet gumtree is currently on ebay... Has 14 bids at the moment...

[miah87]

Hmm, wondering has anyone tried to call this Roger and express some interest in his car? If he said still for sale means he is lying... It is easy to proof... xD
