hi
if you like to get off the line quick then a type r box is for you.
the acceleration is brutal.
i have mine tuned to about 330 bhp,coupled with a lovely sounding exhaust makes my hair stand on end everytime i drive it!!!

hmmm... my WRX does the same Revs at thoes speeds listed, is that not right for a MY93 WRX?
What would a standard WRX be doing at 70mph, And what does a UK car do at 70mph?

You could source a 'box from a V Limited Type R (Version V/VI)..
These have the same short gears for acceleration, but then a lightly longer 5th for motorway cruising...
