Black DT VNT XUD Wagon

[n0v0s]

Having no lag must really make driving yours awesome! Are you on an xud box? Nice spec! Interested in these headbolts.

Yeah, currently on an XUD box, still the change through 1st, 2nd and into 3rd irritates the crap out of me - all too long...

Seeing as you're a member of Team Orange Engine Bay - I'll have a chat to Dave to see what's going on with them at the moment.

320 lbft hock: Crickey! have you a dyno graph? No orange engine bay would be sweet!

I know what you mean, the gearing is horrendous. Theres a roundabout thats kinda uphill that i frequent quite often. The other day i pulled up to it in 2nd, and planted it and it just bogged down like shit. To fast to change into 1st too :|

I have a c.10k miles Hdi gearbox that i could use, i'm tempted just because of the better mpg on runs which is 80% of my driving. Do you reckon it is thaat much longer through the first 3 gears for the other 20% of the time to not consider using it? I know its just a longer fd, but my mates standard 307 hdi can hit 30ish in 1st and that always got him the edge off the lights when mine was on a gt15 ~20psi. Surely once going, the slightly longer gearing makes for negligible difference in comparison to the gained speed advantage per gear / less changes for a specific speed...
