The Excels had a shorter ratio diff. Good off the mark but lacking top end. I will be running the XD gearbox for what im calling "stage 1" which is basically get it in and get it running. Change a few leaking and hard to get to gaskets but other than that no changes to the 2lt.
Next stage might see some gearbox changes, Getz have a nice low ratio which would be good for hillclimbs and around town 😆

I swear by my old X3 sold it with 300,000 on original everything

That car thrashed, paddock bashed, did heaps of stupid shit with it and drove it to and from work for 6 years and never stopped.

The later model Getz got the lower ratios if I remember right.
