This is not the same RSX in the last vid I posted. This is the quicker of the two. Mods in the video. The VW crowd in Canada wanted this car to run one of the faster VWs in the group. Here are the results.

EDIT: This is the R32 motor found in the MK4. I'm assuming he's using the MK3 trans which I read, bolts right up.

Not the best video, but you can still tell what happens. The VW driver was having trouble with 3rd gear.

Probably running an 02J (5speed mk4) or 02M (6 speed mk4 GLI, 20th)

I have to assume it's the 5 spd. If it were 6 spd I'd expect a much closer race, although I would've guessed it to be closer anyway. The RSX is quickkk.
