rpm @70mph ?
Hey all,
My Type-r sits at nearly 3,500rpm @ 70mph in 5th...
This sound right?!
Or might I have a different box?
Seems high to me, and is dangerous for my pocket on the motorway as it is right at my fave point in the revs!

I think at 70 I'm doing about 3k but that's on a 6 speed.

Type R has one of the shortest ratio standard boxes so unfortunately is doesnt make motorway driving much fun. Some people have modded the gearbox to use a UK TY754 5th gear to get over this problem but its a lot of work.
IIRC, you have 4.444 diff ratio which is why you're screaming in 5th.

ahhh so its not me then! Well, I think it is a compromise I can deal with!
That P1 was for sale in scotland recently wasnt it? 80mls, £6k?
Thats the look I want for my front end, bumper I bought already has p1 splitter but is sort of moulded in abit? Will load pics when on, Happy with it
Paulo you changed boxes for more power?

Got confused I guess craigo, nice motor, was thinking about one but couldnt justify in my own mind the difference in price. Most likely because its my first sub..P1 when I grow up!
Its a Type-R STI if you are asking me?

By the looks of things the classics are geared closer... to be fair, I would love to sit at 2500rpm at 70mph but if needs be, I will motorway travel at 60mph.... finally give people a chance to look at me
