Matt Harwood Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Mine does exactly 79mph (GPS reading) at 3000rpm Even more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 For anyone interested, there was a discussion going on in the 'for sale' section regarding the difference between manual and auto diff ratios on the TT's Ian C and myself have both run our cars at 3000 rpm to find out the actual speed difference between the two diffs. Ian tested his car in 5th which is a 1:1 ratio through the gearbox and I did mine in 3rd, again 1:1 through the auto box. (Both JDM Cars) Manual 6sp @ 3,000 rpm = 66/67 mph. Auto @ 3,000 rpm = 56/57 mph. Both speed readings are acurate enough. Ian using his Apexi unit and mine was by GPS. Estimated acuracy +/- 1 mph Thanks to Ian for helping me with that and thanks to Eyefi for getting me all fanatical in the first place! If anyone has a UK TT6 with GPs or similar, Id be interested to know what yours does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Matt, I think 1:1 on a manual is 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
