i hate the 6 speed ratio's, much prefer the 5 speed uk ratio's. its a very persoanl thing though.

I have the 6-speed, BUT I also have a 2.5 litre forged engine running roughly 400/400.

So, with all that torque, no need to change gear much about town anyway.

As for gear ratios, 80mph indicated on French motorways is almost spot on 3000rpm.
So 60 would be 2250rpm.
Even 80 is WAY off boost. And yes, I CAN see 30mpg on a journey like that.
If I can stop my right foot being tempted by all that power and torque.

got a jap v7 sti jap spec 6 speed in mine but as above running a built 2.5 with big power i love it though, i have drove many classics before and after we have converted them and i think it transforms the car totally making them nicer to drive, if you need any help pm me buddy
