6 speed box would be a good long term move

was thinking more of engine mods, but i think the hawkeye box is good for around 400bhp, but i couldnt say for sure.

Is it a 2.5 if so a VF34 would give you 340 bhp and 400 ft/lbs at 2800rev's makes a quick car

Its usually the torque that goes through the gearbox that does the damage especially on a 2.5 with a 5 speed, I wouldn`t push it any further is my advice,

Supporting mods would be if you dont already have them, An STI intercooler to bring temps down and a set of gauges to see whats going on and obviously brakes as the 4 pots will give brake fade early with a bit of enthusiastic driving with the power you have,

an sti intercoller is on my list! gauges also, but i dont know which ones to get, defi is an obvious choice except for the price.
i have uprated discs and pads already so no issues there really!!

push it over 350bhp with even greater torque which the 2.5l make on a 5 speed and your on borrowed time, as like anything some last longer than others
