Ha, it might be easier/cheaper to do a tdi swap. Plus there is that whole issue of, oh no my____ broke I guess I can just go to ebay and have it shipped from japan...
More news the tranny sounds more and more like a rockcrusher in the low gears and this along with my vow to not mod the a15 I begin a search of a more modern transplant.
Really thinking something small with an aluminum block but with readily available parts. The KA seems to be the best initial bet as I have never driven any rwd car with any amount of power before I would prefer not to wreck within my first week of the swap.
And a bummer in the old school revolutions I bought three are legit two are knocks offs. It is hard to tell but now that I know it will bug me to no end.
