blown gearbox
yay, managed to blow my gearbox last night so am trying to source either an sti v5\6 (plus diff), or preferably (for the taller 5th), a P1 box.
Pretty sure I'm going to get the work done at XS (Paul is kindly on the look out for me already
), so I'd need to get ot shipped there.
any ideas anyone?

HTF did you blow it, I always thought that the gearboxes were pretty much bullet proof, obviously not 
In answer to your question, it's got to be worth sticking a note in 'Wanted' on here or perhaps e-bay?
