16v model year differences

[bkpros@shaw.ca (Big Kid)]

Top Speed?  It's all in your gear box.  16v's came with a close ratio
trannies. Mine had an AGB most other rocs came with taller geared boxes.
like the FFor FN. I put an FN on my 1.8 16v and top speed increased by at
least 30km/h.

There is a link on the .org website as to what your tranny holds.
