RE: trying to get 10-sec out of a 1.8T

["BHonnold" <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Im going the 02A route on my MkI 16v turbo cuz I got the tranny and cable
shifter parts free.

But after seeing Yarrows half assed clutch cable setup I have decided to
mount the Raddo clutch M/C on the firewall and fab some linkage to the
clutch pedal.
