Thats my only concern. Isnt it a little too harsh for daily use? Its not exactly smooth when transferring the power to the wheels.
Last time i drove that car, the clutch felt like a switch, it was either engaged or disengaged, nothing in between. But GOD, did it feel good while shifting, i could shift hard, fast and more efficiently than on a stock car.

That hydraulic gearbox is amazing.

Actually i didn't realise the car was on stock brakes. Braking power was pretty good.

My Vtec managed to partially lock it's wheels at 170kmph (this was with 195 GIIIS), if it can do that, you bet it'l handle 180bhp. Moreover, 30 mins of non-stop, hardcore driving on track wasn't enuf torture for the brakes to fade.

I feel tyres would be of greater concern than brakes.
