well that serves you right for being greedy!!! 267bhp? your mental lol, thats a lot of horses, im trying to stick with a figure of 225 - 230 so its not too powerful that it will be munching gearboxes. Have you uprated your gearbox? what is the car like on the road compared to other cars in 4th and 5th?
My gearbox is only mildly uprated with uprated bearings, but still standard cogs and v-lsd
imbarrassed any lush motors?
