One transmission to rule them all...

Okay, so the project Corrado now has 400hp, but whenever you add significant amounts of power, you have to take into consideration your drive train. I had it in the back of my mind, but apparently the stock one with 200,000km on the clock wasn't quite prepared for it... so, I have ordered a redesigned one from Germany that should be good to 600hp. The 4,000EUR I spent on it kinda hurts though... I never thought I would spend that much on a transmission. Well, in fact, I didn't, I only spent, 2,500 on it, but the installation charges and government inspection fees have to be planned for... *sigh*

I take it this is "bike" talk?
There are thousands of bikers in Reno this week, but mostly of a different sort from yours. Aunt Jo.

Ha Ha, well, no... but I can see why you would think that... :)

No, I have delved into the Volkswagen Experience and on the deep end for that matter choosing to trick out a Corrado VR6.

Well obviously, I live in my own little insular world also. Do you still have your bike? J

The two bikes I owned in the states I ended up selling before I left. I did buy a small one to hold me over for a while here until the new Suzuki Hayabusa's are released, however. *grin*
