Is there any advantage of the F16 over the F20? Or are they just cheaper to buy?

more acceleration... less top end

main advantage of an f16 for me is i have an f16 laying about, but not an f20

How much more acceleration are you talking? Like a second off the 0-60 or 0.1 of a second? and whats the loss off top end roughly? Is it quite noticeable? Just interested

From a scrappy about £30-50 as mentioned before. But if you're buying from a scrappy see if you can check out the the wear/synchromesh because sometimes they get worn quite a lot and then you'll end up having to get the gearbox rebuilt or buy a reconditioned one.

You won't loose any top end on a standard power engine using an F16 over an F20.

And on a standard engine you won't see many gains in acceleration either.

mate dropped an f20 in his LET at the weekend, as a slight problem with the f28 namely a big fcuk off hole

his car was RR'd with 320lb foot torque the car got a hammering last night and the gearbox is still alright for now

5 speed box, phase 3.5 LET 157mph the clocks were showing... just touching the limiter! reckon they were major over reading though
