Re: Swapped shitvic
300K mile Civic hatch. It was given to me wrecked four years ago, I've put $250 into repairs and maintainence for it over the last 120K, and it's been up and down the eastern seaboard a couple dozen times. I'm leaving for PRI in Orlando tomorrow afternoon and I can tell you now it won't break or leave me stranded.
Pre-99 Toyotas are similarly infaillable. If you don't care for Honduhs you should go that direction when you come to your senses and ditch your german failure wagon.

I understand the 2.5 Passat/Jetta is a relaible new VW, and I admit I don't know a whole lot about the TDIs, but I really don't like the way newer VWs have gone. If I had to have an efficiency diesel passenger car I'd go with an old Rabbit... if you can find the things, most people who owned them 10-15 years ago knew what they had and wouldn't come off them.

Whatever HP I was pushing wasn't the point of my reply. The point was that the 18t trannies don't suck that bad but the diffs are ----. If you put a quaiffe or pelquin in them they are tuff as nails and a gt28rs should put down WAY more than 280whp.

Thats 100 HP over stock at 21 psi on a gt28rs with stock internals.
Sounds about right to me.
I've never heard of someone blowing a tranny in a mkiv, another friend of mine has a gt3071r running 18 psi, stock internals, putting down low 300's with a tdi tranny.
