can anyone define what exactly is the benifit of swaping to 5 speed if you are still going to get the same top speed or are you?
I am in the dillema where i do not want a car that can get me up the 1/4 mile faster than everyne else. I would like a car the can rival the boy racers on the motorway. you know cruising at 60mph putting your foot down letting the turbo kick in and getting to 100+ in a couple of seconds.
ultiately i know that its not legal to go over 70mph but it is the same in any modern car that can top out at 140mph, you cant do it because its illegal but you know you could if you wanted.
Also i have read that installing ratios other than what VW designed could mean the fan is not cooling to the proper degree leading to overheating and presumably premature part ageing, but with a separate oil cooler and porsche fan housing is this overcome?
i know there are lots of ways to put different porsche bits into the car but exactly how are the modifications done is there a set procedure or so far is it just trial and error?
I hve already done the exterior of the car and dont want to cut it as mch as possible so as far as moifications to be done would it make more sense for me to shell out on a berg 5 or a porsche box?
I have also amended my rear drum to a Kerscher disc set and 5x100 pcd so would i have to lose this and swap to porsche pattern wheels or can i keep my kerscher conversion?
i am sorry for bringing his up again
