Snatched one up in UCD the other day because of the color it came in (looked very much like Audi's Daytonagrau Perleffekt, a color many of you may have seen me raving about elsewhere on GTP) and today I decided to throw a mild tune on it. Now, for me anyway, a mild tune typically consists of minor weight reduction (windows and maybe Stage 1), ECU, low- or mid-range turbo (if applicable), "sports" upgrades (those with the word in their name), height-adjustable suspension, and an LSD. With minor work, the car was a blast and I went ahead and threw it on the 'Ring to really test what I'd created. Lo and behold, I got to the straight and made my 4/5 shift, only to discover that I had to shift into 6th almost immediately. Checked the gear ratios in the stock transmission and discovered this:
1st - 3.214
2nd - 2.238
3rd - 1.535
4th - 1.171
5th - 1.085
6th - 0.790
Does anything about 4th and 5th strike anyone as odd? That's a pretty absurd split in my eyes. Could this be a mistake on PD's part? Or perhaps on Mitsubishi's part? Needless to say I ended up buying the fully-customizable box and fixed the problem with that, but still my mind was and still is sufficiently boggled.
