I wouldn't pay alot more for a R154, but if it was slightly more then a W58 i guess i would get it.. I just thing the 1st gear failure is so common in them they aren't worth paying double the price of a w58 for.
that's good to know. guess i'll have to keep saving for a v160 if i want more power.

It has alot to do on how you drive,who much tq you make,whatkindof clutch alot of things.
Some people break their v160 with stock twins, some have made 1722 rwhp with the same trans with zero issue.

^^^ You absolutely correct, But what do you think I should do??

Build a W58?
Buy a Soarer/Chaser R154?
Or Buy a Mkiii R154?
