Wrong !!!

There is no gearbox you could bung on a furio to get 60 out of second gear.

You need the higher revs in which the 16v uses, with a furio the cut off is 5500RPM theres nothing after that so it won't go any quicker vts goes up to 7250RPM with the gearbox suited to the car it gives a longer ratio in 1st and 2nd along with the vts alloys the vts can then make 60 in second gear.

If you need more evidence i will actually start telling you the gearbox ratios and what they can do.

Come and test drive it. ive no reason to lie. im not saying its fast cause its not and my corsa redtop kills it but it does do 60mph in 2nd just has it hits the limiter!!!!! Could the engine of had alot of work done onnit?? i dont know ive only had it 2 weeks. pipercross filter, decat straight thru stainless 3" i can tell you the rest of the top speeds of each gear if you like. I just thought i would test it out yesterday and i wrote em all done

:w all:

Well looking at this bud no offence but i think all that engine work hasn't done anything

.

My 02 plate VTR can hit 60 mph in 2nd gear and go up to 85 in 3rd. I've timed my 0-60 runs and with a good start can get around 7.9seconds, my sax is standard apart from a Raceland Induction kit with green filter and a cat-back exhaust system.

furios dont cut off at 5500RPM, its around 6250RPM

This is bollox.I used to have a diesel box on my vtr and it would do over 60 in 2nd and just shy of a ton in 3rd.

it will do 89 on a diesel box and vtr box.

use this

and this http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/th...-Gearbox-Guide to find the ratios of the box your are using.

gear ratios do not lie
