we did a 2.0 mk2 fezzy and it went like stink once it was done made for some interesting driving i can tell you.
seemed to drive rather odd though , i mean in 1st and 2nd it didnt really feel any different until you hit 3rd and left it in until it hit the limiter at which point it absolutly flew 4th and 5th didnt last long either and it was soon off the clocks
was running on a std xr2 gear box tooo
maybe thats why.
well good look on the project keep the photos coming , makes a change seeing some one else freezing his pods off doing his car instead of me for a change
