Adam218 Member 23 Member For: 12y 6m 16d Posted 15/08/12 01:17 PM Share Posted 15/08/12 01:17 PM What's the 5 speed manual like in the ba in comparison to the 6 speed manual in the ba mk 2? When it comes to doing heaps of mods? Is it true that it's a whole lot weaker? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO NOT buy a 5 speed, as you will just have to convert it to 6 speed to get more than just a tune out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
