My 5 speed manual NA is a rocket ship to 120mph, then slower progress to 140 mph
Accelerates about the same as an auto TT upto 100 mph. Then at 110+ the TT will pull away.
My NA will out run most cars once @ 100 mph.
Kill List:
Sierra Cosworth
Audi S3
Audi TT turbo
Escort Cosworth
MR2 Turbo
Calibra V6
Most effective mod was the de-cat, and the second hand de-cat pipe only cost £50 - 10 mins to fit
5 speed box critisism. 2nd gear max 60 mph at red line, 3rd gear at 50 mph is only 4000rpm. Car takes off at 5000 rpm so at 55 mph you cant go into second and third is revving to low.
Solution:
Buy and fit a 6 speed box......circa £2500 - £4000 (75mph in2nd)
:p :p
Dont overtake at 50-55 mph. Wait till 60 mph , then go into 3rd :D
