Quick question about JDM STI 8 Twin scroll
Hi..
Still looking for a STI..
The JDM STI 8 Twin scroll cars - Do they have a shorter 6th gear ratios ?
and if so does this make the MPG on the motorway worst then a UK ?
Cheers
Ian

It`s definatly 6 speed. As far as i`m aware the JDM does have a slightly lower 6th than the UK, but not by much, motorway cruising is certainly much better than my old V5 Type R. Can`t compare to a UK car cus i`ve never had one. But my car since remap will do 25mpg+ on a steady motorway run.

No such thing as an STI version 8 to start with (and if there were it wouldnt be twin scroll )
So what year are you talking about? versions stopped at 6.
As for the gear question, yes they have a shorter 5th and 6th gear over a uk car.

As Tony says.... the JDM blobeye has shorter gear ratios for 5th and 6th. 1st - 4th are the same as UK equiv.
My 500+bhp Spec C delivers 18mpg, so a much lower powered Newage should deliver slightly more. lol
An Classic RA box is waaaaaaaaay shorter than a Newage JDM.
