Re: 2H/4K vs. standard 16v trans.

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

I have the 4k with the 100mm flanges. I haven't broken my engine in yet, so
I haven't gone over 95 MPH. My car seems to pull well in every gear. Also,
if I get on it and take each gear to 4500 (I just broke 1000 miles so I have
to be careful), I have to hold on tight, it's sweeeeeeeet....I am modestly
guessing I have 128HP to the wheels....16v 2.0 Sligthly modded with P&P
rebuilt 1.8 head, and bottom end, Sachs Sport Clutch,
SS Header with Autotech exhaust...I have already made a few Hondas feel
pretty silly....I can't wait until I can take it through the bandwidth...
