Late last year I had my 2Y 16v transaxle rebuilt.  I replaced the 3.67
final drive with a 3.94, and the .91 fifth with a .75.  It is simply
awesome, it should have been the first modification I did...no joke. Worth
as much as a 2L when it comes to acceleration; couple it with the built
2L in my car and it's practically scary. :)  In other words, I highly
suggest the 4K.  Swap in the 100mm flanges and throw in a Peloquin diff
kit (order from Mark @ Adirondak, I think he can still get them).  Then
rip up the road.

later!
