dr_broon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It would really. It's just S80s don't seem to go for much less than 600 on eBay (or at least didn't at the time), and I'm sure i remember @weetec saying that the rest of the ratios were also a killer in fuel consumption? Better acceleration though The ls 5th gear swap is something that is done on the tegs in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, might be a bit steep of a change to just do the 5th gear on our standard box, be like the 6th gear on a Corvette Z06 being silly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 S80's are still going for silly money Mr Broon ! I think there is another one, from the VTI, s4c, or the y21 that is supposed to have a shorted 1,2,3,4 and our 5 .. Not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Are you sure bud? Uk is still an option in the drop down list for placing an order? This is from the FAQ's. http://www.oemacuraparts.com/faqs Do you ship outside the United States?We no longer ship outside the 50 states. American Honda and Acura of North America restrict the sale of parts and accessories to the United States. Unfortunately, exclusions include US territories, such as Puerto Rico and Guam. Unless you are in one of the 50 states, we cannot ship an order to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
