cups v. coilovers? Now weight & 4spd. vs. 5 spd.

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P><BR>I like it lots! I think a built, high reving 8v could benefit from the low final drives available in 4 speed boxes. The availability and price of four speeds is another plus.</P>
<P>I guess a grunty 16 valve would do well with wide ratio's and 20 lbs is quite a bit at that location..... I personaly would miss all the rowing.<BR></P>

<DIV></DIV>Sooo Scotty, (and now that I found that you aren't the orignial 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>carrot/vagina searcher, the heat is off), I think as you do. (AFA 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>vehicle weight). 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>So here's what I want to do...build a custom ratio 4-speed and install 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>my Quaife into it. I still daily drive this thing, but little highway. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'll use a 3.89 FD. All 020's have a 3.45 1st. If I can shorten a 5 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>spd. mainshaft, I'll be able to use a 1.75, 1.94, or 2.12 2nd, and 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>whatever 3rd and 4th I choose. And save a solid 20 lb., all off the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>front end (my bathroom scale told me!). 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>This will be behind a 2.0L 16V, which I figure will have the torque to 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>pull through the naturally wider gear spacing. Thoughts/feedback?
