Nope! Wrong gear box. Any advantage from 5 gears is lost in the time it takes to change them. Clutch down 1,2 Heeeeeeave lever 3,4 clutch up 5,6 ..... Oh look he's cleared off.

Ahh all that extra 500cc/700cc hanging around, affecting the power-to-weight ratio. I'm with Webby...

2.5V6s are definitely fastestest. Especially mine one...

Just after I've cleaned and tested the EGR again... checked for air leaks on the vac pipes... taken off the plenum... check for air leaks there... changed the fuel as it might be a little stale, changed the wishbones... droplinks... tierods... polybushed the wishbones... serviced the back brakes... source a set of road legal wheels and tyres... got a full geometry setup... get her MoT'd and taxed under the new robot rules... confirmed the breathers are clear even though they weren't done that many miles ago... cured the slight weeps from both the diff and the gearbox and the sump... either topped up or changed the gearbox oil... cleaned or replaced the gearbox filter... replace or top up diff oil...  given her a full service... changed the plugs and HTs and filters... changed the MFD... booked myself in for a head examination.... had a cry...
