330BHP question
hi, i have 330bhp in my00, soon i think i may need a new box common 3rd may or could let go.
What box would be advised, was thinking 6 speed. advise need or is 330 fine for my00 box. If you agree with the 6 speed would i need sti diff. |
If your box is healthy and you drive with mechanical sympathy, there is no reasons your box shouldn't last. Mine has been at that level for best part of 3 years now. It's torque that kills boxes not bhp, btw.
If yours does let go, then the best option probably would be a 6 speed, yes. Ns04 |
:thumb: if it does let go i will get the 6 speeder, prob be cheap to.
|
6 speed or ppg, i went ppg route cos i love the whine hehe, but does cost more than the 6 speed conversion. also some folks can't get on with the ratios of the 6 speeder
|
I wouldn't replace it until, and if it lets go.
Used to have a my99 uk runniing 343 of torque for nearly 2 years without anyproblems :cry: |

440bhp/ 370 torque - so far, so good on a 5 speed here ( what's the emoticon for holds breath / crosses fingers behind back whilst touching my lucky rabbit's foot?)

yup, helical or strightcut are options, as i understand it helical is also slightly noisier than standard (although never heard one and only going on what i was told at the time of upgrade last year) as to wether you like the noise, its an each to there own thing, i love it |

personaly i love the sound, but its an each to there own thing. also bear in mind you can have a uk 5th gear put in to keep the noise levels quiet for cruising on motorways |
have been told helical is still abit whiney, although never heard one so only going on what i've been told.
i love the sound, but its def an aquired taste. also i have a uk5th in it to keep motorway quiet. |
