Sounds like a really low price!

Who did you get to change the ratio on your box?

The gearbox was rebuilt by Mike Morgan Rallysport at Aberdare in South Wales. He is an expert on gearboxes and diffs.

Do you know if the new gear affects top end?

Im from near ystrad mynach so only about 20 mins away I think. Would it have been you I saw parked up in nelson before, and again in ystrad? Because I saw a black gti and I dont see many around this way.

I'll kill 2 birds with one stone -

In 5th gear it pulls 80mph at just under 3000revs and 100 at 3500. I haven't gone any faster. It doesn't pull quite so well in 5th as the previous gear did but if you want to overtake just put it down into 4th - with the induction kit and exhaust , it breathes really well and it just flies and wants to carry on. It does make a difference to the mpg, it regularly gives 340miles on a tank.

Yes it is a black car, my wife uses the car most of the week and she works in Nelson. I'm stuck with the Rav 4

I wondered when I saw it was the owner on the forum. Well I got your number so if you want to take it out of the message above its upto you. Dont keep the car on my account, but if you still have the car when Im looking to buy its a plus. Cheers mate.
