The 4x4 F20 box has same ratio's 1-4, but a longer 5th gear iirc.
And you also got an F20 with a 3.72FD instead of the normal 3.55FD, but if he had that, (they are pretty rare) he would have been going faster than a normal F20 with 3.55FD @ the same RPM.
Anyhow, no standard F20 box will be sitting at 115mph @ 6k rpm. Should be going faster than that.

Are you 100% sure its an F20 box?? Have you seen F20 stamped on it?? Or did you buy the car with it all fitted and are assuming its an F20??

Does seem a touch low, but if you pause the video at 30 seconds, it's on about 125mph for the speedo. That was on 15'' wheels with a 50 profile. I never tried it with GPS, so I don't know how close it is.

not far off, although the limiter is rather high on it. its screaming for a 6th gear though
what clocks did 1.6 sports come with 130mph or 140mph cos my 140 ones seem a lot more accurate than the 130's

yea my gearbox is a F20 its got it stamped on it, i blame peoples speedo's as they're never acurate when high up the mph and yea i thought an F20 would be higher speed than previous gearboxes but i guess not :S but then again i was only at like 5,700 / 6,000 rpm the next 1,500 rpm probably would have lifted me another 5/6 mph more, but i dont like the thought of sitting at that rpm for long periods of time screaming the bottom end off engines, feels wrong lol
