Synchrotech confirmed the ring gears are the same for the same for both transmissions.

Figured how to use Movie Maker, so stuck a picture on the audio file.

0-100 pull in the works private test grounds end of 4th is the end, I stick it in 5th to coast but already at 100.

Mounted the microphone to the airfilter!

Haha it does sound aggressive. That is how it sounds from the engine bay. I may try a exhaust audio clip too. That would be different.

I did a 350mile trip at the weekend. First long drive with the new gearbox U2Q7. I returned 36mpg. This is the same as what I got with the old gearbox M2A4. So interestingly the extra higher 400rpm made no difference to economy. It does make 5th gear very spritly.

Makes me wonder would a further 400rpm drop from my old prelude m2a4 which is what the accord 5th gear swap would be, really yield much mpg gain at all?

links are broken on my end, not sure about anyone else.

[marcusv8thunder]

Yeah my bad, Ive fixed them now should be working.

Just some pics from a recent trackday in trackday mode.

[marcusv8thunder]

So what have I been up to, well, Mallory Park trackday thats what!

Dont expect racecar speed but not bad for what it is. Listen out for some toe and heel blips!

Btw this was early on in the day, but the car did 200laps and 60l of fuel, didnt miss a beat! Only fatalities were blowing flexi pipe towards the end of the day and lost a wheel centre cap!

Were a mix of cars, some very oddly quick cars that came by, and some you would expect.

Was full wet in the morning, mid morning damp drying line, after lunch full dry.

Heres a video!
