| Looks great man. I've always been particularly fond of that colour. I bet it's nice to drive with the 6-speed tranny | |

| cheers lads....... love bronze in these corolla's, not too many about. the 6speed box is good from about 3rd on but 1st and 2nd are not great to be honest......engine bay needs a bit of tidying up all right but overall im well pleased with her.... | |

iv been told accelaration is alot better than the standard 5 speed.. is that true? also have you noticed a difference in fuel economy? car was converted by the previous owner, im reckoning it is running the 4efte with about 7 years now, the box is out of a g6 corolla and yes afaik it is a straight swap, from 3rd on she pulls really well, 1st and 2nd just seem to be too low, revs like mad but doesn't gain much ground, i usually wait till she's in third before id flow it (will make the box last longer too)........pretty good economy just cruising along at 100km in 6th....... | |

| the 6speed makes a diff for a long spin...thats when i get the 340 miles( sometimes more).....normal driving up and down through the gears its between 290 and 310 which is still good for just tipping about the place............its on high boost all the time, 0.65 to 0.7 bar.... i dont rev the fuck out of her all the time though so that helps......... | |

Is the 6-speed box a little 'crunchy' when it changes gears? I heard that they are compared to the 5-speed but not sure if there's any truth to it. | |

| Ive heard that they are weaker than the 5speed but my one seems to be holding up ok although it is worn all right, been in there with a few years now. driven a few standard e11 corolla's with this box and they were very smooth...... prob just depends on how they have been treated really...................as i said before i dont over rev it in 1st and 2nd and i reckon this would help them last longer....but thats just my opinion | |
