Nah man. Some guy in Canada wanted them so bad he paid for my next set of wheels\tires AND shipping up there.
Hard to find those old school Equips.
I know a guy that imports them occasionally still. If you want a set PM me the sizes\pattern you want and I'll see if he has any.

well, the V160 has proven to hold +1000hp, while the R154 has the thrust washer issues...
plus, it's a 6 speed vs a 5 speed, what you expect LOL
Camera phone pics, need to find my USB cable for the real camera. 
And since when does having a 6th gear help anything ? Most of my 6spd cars I never even used it, unless I was cruising at 100mph but how often do I get open traffic around here ?

not exactly what you'd think
Depending on design, the 6th gear is usually a second overdrive, or used to get closer gear ratios. As a second overdrive, it drops revs and gets beter milage on the highway (or ultimately higher top end, hence the MKIV's 200mph+ ability). As closer ratios you stay in your powerband easier.
The V160 is a rediculously stout tranny to take the abuse I've seen it take. At those levels though, if it DOES break it's driver error (like missing a shift).

wasn't quite sure, but knowing that just tells me it's to keep the car in the proper powerband easier...
I guess.

My dad stumbled across it at a mechanic shop when fixing his car and called me up and I sent the money next day.
