Having VVT it would be useless in 6th (which would basically just lower the revs) so progress would be negligible lol.
Having a car with 6 speeds is great for economy, but is pretty boring to 'drive' [especially with cruise control]

Well I don't think you'd use 6th if you were pushing it, just to lower the revs sitting at 70-75 when you just want to get home.

2300 for me (6th)

the mi6 box i think it was (gti-6) will fit but you can wave goodbye to alot of your steeringlock as the box takes the space.

Thank god for turbos

#16: Re: 6 speed box? Author: hanpug25, Location: SedgleyPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 2:24 am ---- The six speed box wont lower your rpm at 70, if anything it'll increase it. IIRC a gti6 sits at about 3500rpm at 70. Pretty sure they dont fit anyway (isnt the 206 gti different to an XU?)
Ad.
#17: Re: 6 speed box? Author: whits87, Location: NottinghamshirePosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:49 pm ---- i know what your saying about selling it lol might get myself a focus instead and yes it was only for economy and nothing else
