I'll be nice and answer your question:
my cousin had a 93 fd many years ago. Iirc he went through 2-3 transmissions on it. car was just bolt ons but he street raced the daylights out of it (but no track at all). So to me, that's pretty weak.
I mean, if you wanna do things roundabout and waste money and time then sure. Just document it well and take lots of pictures, so we can just link the next guy that's gonna be making the same exact thread in the next few months.
