f20
that will go boom
No it wont
Be 'reet.
Turbo engines destroy gearboxes because of a massive torque increase when you hit boost!
You will just have a "gentle" torque curve on a NA engine.......
baxter. do like the yanks do.....fit an auto box.... then you have only 2 pedals of destruction, one for the engine & one for the brakes... the gearbox will be fine..

you need to buy an F20 and an F16
Bring them both to an action day at combe and see how long on track the F16 would last :)

Nope! I wouldn't have bought it if it was scrap would i? Correct and right amounts of gearbox oil make f20's last imo!
