I do fit in a ute, but it does take a bit of stretching after a long drive! Thanks Harry for the Rota option. I'm starting to rethink the big wheel thing, I don't want too much attention from the establishment..

I've been doing a bit of research regarding 6 speed gear boxes. I want something that is cheap and bullet proof. So far the best box I can find is the P66M box from the 2010 RX8 and Mx5. It is going to be an engineering challenge to make it fit the A series.

The Ratios are:
1st,3.815 2nd 2.260, 3rd 1.640, 4th 1.177, 5th 1, 6th .787

This should allow me to use 4.8:1 rear gears and still only be at 4k RPM at 110kmh on the freeway.
