    19T all the way FTW! But a pair of KO3s or K04s on an S4 take some beating!

    Manual R has 16T - for what it's worth. It is a high mileage car and although lovely, would not expect mine to get more than that with 98k on the clock and as an M59 manual with sensible mods. And those who have driven will know just how good it is!

    KISS Rs

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...
