Check out Darren's speed/revs/gearing calculator hidden away in Photo Gallery- Bruntingthorpe thread.
For 3.0 5 speed manual, fly by wire cars, 1995 onward, what speed do you pull at 8000 rpm?
If the answer is 71-72 in second; 100-102 in third; 136-138 in forth with 255/40 17's THEN the answer is JDM internal gearing and a Type R final drive.
My recorded speeds equate to the computed speeds.
Top man to Darren for his calculator, who else can confirm similar speeds and gearing with an un-modified UK car.
