They never had enough side wall movement for me personally ...  The more grip & more chances of breaking that new box or Diff or driveshafts ....205s for my Minimal 293 N/A is perfect it's going to break the weakest point with too much grip |

Has anyone actually done a best fit spread sheet for gear boxes for the 6?IE ratios from other boxes etc and final drives? I dont need to do 130 on a private strip in 6th, but it might be nice to do that in 5th at the right rpm? |

In my 6 with a 6speed box & 205/50/16 tyres with 4.75 Bacci Romani Crownwheel & pinion @ 8500rpm I'm doing 126 max in 5th ...never really use 6th on track yet ? |

without spending bug money you wont get any other gear ratios for a gti6 box, you can get a final drive though.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
