Transmission?
Was anyone thinking about modifying (making gears shorter) or even swapping standart transmission with diesel or 1.3 version?
On my 323 1.9 16v I feel lack of power on 2-nd and 3-rd gear below 3.5K RPM (about 40-50 km/h) - I think this is because gears are bit too long - 2-nd gear allows to reach 100 km/h by 7K RPM and 3-rd is about 145 km/h by same RPM.
I need 70-80 km/h on 2-nd gear+max rpm and 120 on 3-rd, as on both racetracks I participate max. speed in turns is 'bout 60 km/h, so with shorter gear ratio I can accelerate better when coming out of turn.
Any Ideas? Max speed about 160 should be enough (standart 200), as we don't have too good roads here, in Latvia
