[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 614962, member: 38"] I don't have quite the power you have, but I've got the following ratios: (numbers in brackets are including the diff to compare with yours) 1st gear: 3.091 (13.69) 2nd gear: 1.889 (8.37) 3rd gear: 1.318 (5.84) 4th gear: 1.040 (4.60) 5th gear: 0.857 (3.80) It's lovely to drive as the gear ratios just flow into each other. I'd imagine the large gaps between the ratios on your 091 make it a lot more awkward if you're not pressing on. I now have 3 gears in which I can do 60mph... My 1st gear is a good ratio with just under 100bhp, so I can imagine how useless the 17.37 is with 180bhp! With your additional power I'm sure it could easily pull the 3.08 5th gear for very relaxed cruising, just make sure the engine stays cool :) [/QUOTE]
