Gday Graham, there's more and more cars getting Subagears conversions here in Aus, just many owners aren;t on forums so you don't hear about them much.

There was a buggy racing at the track at this last weekends VW show.
It had the WRX turbo engine and subagears box with big offroad tyres and flogging around the track he managed to toast the clutch a bit but not hurt the trans at all.

It is a valid concern though that if a replacement R&P were ever needed down the track if the company ceased to exist may be tricky but I also think the R&P would be one of the last parts of a transmission that would fail.
