Jordan,
The skyline 5spd is very tough. I would just use a lightened stock wheel
unless you are going to do some club events etc.

Thanks errol,
Not that its real healthy for the gears, I do a bit of revmtching
(clutchless gearchanges) in my little stocky 808.
Would the Skiline (somewhere between 72 and 78) 5 speed be up for beating? I
wont be using the 1600 im building as an everyday street car (insurance
woes), what be your recomendation of FW? (resonbly suped up L20B)
TNX
Jordan
