The gearbox was not forgotten...
A new LSD was installed, more precisely a clutch plate type...done by a portuguese company specalized in these kind of components.

I´ve decided to use the the s16 housing and final drive, wich is the shortest from psa range for BE gearboxes.
All the gears, from 1st to 5th are from a gti6 box...and this is the best setup for getting a close gear ratio, using original parts. The assembly was not a direct fit, because it needs some mods on the original
The chosen gear ratios for 7500rpm / 4,43 FD / 205-50-15 are:
1st - 2.92 - 68kmh
2nd - 1.85 - 107kmh - 5009rpm
3rd - 1.41 - 141kmh - 6008rpm
4th - 1.15 - 173kmh - 6457rpm
5th - 0.95 - 209kmh - 6544rpm
Remind you all that this is a track car, so there´s no need for a lot higher top speed.
