Hvery nice car but gearing seems to be very low. my old alfa146 ti fitted with 2 litre twin cam 16 valve and variable intake length. a flap alfa added to engine to give flat power curve reved at 3000 rpm at 70mph and that was consided very short gearing. on aftermarket everyone who would tune alfas would recomend changing 5th gear of higher gearing. use to get 33mpg average sometimes alot lower if idiot wanted a race. now i'm older thats all changed. so if renault make a gearbox with higher ratios in it and bolts staight on why swap box and keep orginal to refit at sale time. cannot be any worse than swaping volvo v40 1.9 (renault) gearbox. took two days in sub zero temps on the drive at 2am. luckly no neighbours near by. you have to unbolt engine to allow it to drop 3" to get box out. lol
