very quick question

[BoroGTI]

have the trophies got a 6 speed gearbox?

 

[hoolio]

Well if you count reverse.

No, it's the same as any other 182 bar the trick sachs, colour, spoiler, and seats.

 

[BoroGTI]

cheers! just been on a site that said in the spec sheet '6 speed box' maybe their counting reverse

 

[hoolio]

Depressingly they are probably not, numpties.

 

[hoolio]

Oh and the speedlines.

 

[Johnnytheboy]

Does the 197 have 6 speed?

 

[Sam_K]

Yes they do have a 6 speed box. I have always wondered if they would be a straight swap for the 5 speed 182?

Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea.

I bet K-TECH or RS tunning would be able to do it, I thik that the ratios are different but it would be interesting to see if there are any performance gains, i.e quicker accelleration.

Strangely though, with 6 gears, the 197 revs very high in 6th gear at 70 mph, about 4000-4500 IRC.
Made for noisy motorway cruising.

Later models had new ratios which fixed this.
