@glamfusion : "High 13s" I mean around 13,9s yes. :)

@23chilled : Yes the original bearings are plastic caged. You have to take the old ones off and there should be some numbers on them. Than you can try to search the new ones - steel caged. Good luck

@Zemjang are the originals bearings plastic or something i heard. As ive owned 216 coupe and i broke the bearings or somewhat when lost most of the gears (My fault bit rough with her) Ive now bought another one the 220 non turbo model and im thinking of uprating not changing the boxes but just improve on whats already fitted to the car as standard

i have my rover 400 Ti, is already running! was a trial period. exactly at 5000rpm 200 km/h with the 600 ti gear box :D

@LiquidCars: Hi there.... Yes I can imagine that on the straight...

@Zemjang Hi Mate, I can speak from personal experience as I've done a lot of testing with different boxes. And although you might think that the slightly lower ratio Ti box would accelerate faster, it is infact the longer coupe box that equates to a faster acceleration time. If you race 2 identical 200s, one with a TI box and one wiht a coupe box. The Ti box accelerates no faster but it runs out of revs sooner and as you change gear, the coupe boxed car pulls ahead. I have tired this.

I have a rover 400, with all engine and gearbox of a 620ti and a competition clutch. not finished yet. see my videos
