Sorry,i just assumed you were comparing it to the factory gearbox that came on the XE.

Do you know what the gear ratio's are for those VAG boxes??

1100 is the EK4's. The EK9's are seem welded and they removed the rear brace bar in the bumper and many more tiny mods. It is the pinnacle of Type R's, that's why I fucking love them.

His is fucked. I dicked a Cupra R, I raped a Corsa XE and I was hanging on the tails of a Nova XE with my old engine until 120 when the cunt took off.

Well it's quicker than walking, so it isn't slow.

Fed up with dynos, killed every car I had dyno'd even when running great on the road for ages before, even the standard engine car i took down. Maybe it was the dyno operator (wont mention where!).

Cant see any other way to set-up your car properly unless you have a mappable ECU then live mapping seems the way to go?

Whats my point? Set up your chassis for corners!!!!!! Hear me out....

I have a 380hp (1200kg) rwd that I drift and a 125hp (650kg) Nova that I race round the ovals. Timed em both over 5 laps at swaffham. The Nova was faster round the oval track which is all about corners. For town and B road work (A roads and Motorways are boring!) have your car laser aligned for a fast road setup and you will leave higher power cars behind!! Just aviod A roads and Motorways LOL.
