Hi, im 17 and just past my test. I have a 1.6 gti but want to put a 1.9 init.
I have the engine but i dont no weather to look for a 1.9 gearbox for it or put my 1.6 gearbox on it.

Cheers for that.

If i wanted a longer fifth gear for motor ways, what would you change it to?

I was thinking a 1.8 diesel fifth gear or something like that?

I would, ive had 1 offered to me but im only 17 and bein drivin bout 6 months.

I think the 1.9 will be fast enough for now.

I hope the deisel 5th isnt to slugish, have to have it changed back if it is.

Cheers
