trouble is you still have an ma box
Yeah i guess 1.8 is lighter...but thats a stock engine, was trying to do something a bit different, I know im far from a petrol head, but I just think the way the little TU 1.6/1.4 revs / drives is so much more "fun" than the bigger XU counterparts...
Yeah the box is always a let down, considering trying to retro fit a gti6 box, its always the boxs that die, and the ratios really let the whole car down, but its a rebuiult MA on there atm, so should at least last for a while.
The aim is just to try something a bit different here, not be better.
