    Gearing

    What's the normal gearing on MK 2's? At 100ks in 5th I'm doing 3000 rpm.

    Cheers

    So if it could pull 6k in 5th that would equate to 200kmh/125mph. Do you think it's geared wrongly?

    Not wrongly but I'm used to cars doing less than 2500 revs at 100 ks. Do I have a close ratio gearbox or is it standard?

    Sounds pretty normal.
    You get used to the noise when cruisin at 110-120 on the M1, eventually
