got this after having a3.91 fopr ages and this ratio suits my 2.7 much better and it doesnt really feel any slower accelerating either

2750rpm at 70mph is much better too as it was previously 3k at 70

muc better mpg and comfortable high speed cruising :cool:

drifts like a goodun too!

We have rally spec roads to Karan, maybe just not quite as high speed as your special one! I will show you next time!

I will need to set-up the data cable, which means finding it! Will do!

hehe!

Yes, when the Civic returns! If ever!

We need to get on the track asap in the new year.

It was a choice for me for a big new years eve night out - which always turn out nowhere near as good as you hope, or booking a track day with the money saved. So, just a few beers, and a nice track day to look forward to!
