Maybe it does? Just got me thinking Ash yeah was thinking the same last Friday arvo so popped the kick panel off and it's the xr8 computer in there so no worries there.... Phill |

Interesting Ea there mate! 5 spd V8 boxes are not the easiest of things to come by, so the setup you have doesn't surprise me. I think I'd rather go that way than a v8 auto.
Cheers ToranaGuy

I noticed that 1st seemed a lot longer in my Xr8 compared to my Ghia, the 8 would be interesting with a shorter 1st, but not too short, because if you have lots of power & short 1st gear, all you will get it tyre smoke lol.

Cheers ToranaGuy Yeah its really nice and should be interesting with a 3.45 diff in it soon too .It needs more power already but im working on that starting with extractors and fitting thermo's... phill |

Extractors & thermo's are a great start for more power. Probably next cheap power mod is under drives. My Xr8 has extractors & big exhaust on it. No thermo fans yet, will probably convert it once it's on the road. My g/f's red Xr8 has thermo's, but were damaged by the accident, i will replace them when it's time to get it on the road. They do make a good improvement.

A 3.45 diff would be a bit of a waste if it wasn't a lsd. My wagon used to spin too easy on a 3.27 single spinner. Second and third were the best though, geez I miss that box sometimes, very jealous hehehe.
