Nope i am using B8T. Sorry to say that what your mechanic said is not true. Obviously if you compare to newer parts, the older parts are harder to find. But is not that hard to find. There are always runners to look parts for you and further more B6T is not that old. If you are afraid that the parts are going to be extinct, this is the right place for u to be. This is one of the reasons why this forum is here for. If u are looking for some limited edition parts, then there is nothing i can say. But other than that is ok. Get more advice from others. I hope what i said could help u. About the front disc break, i am not too sure. I guess is either ori 1.6 familia or b6t.
