I'm toying with the idea of putting a close ratio gearbox in the Pearl when I replace the engine. The engine will be very much standard spec, though carefully assembled to provide best performance. The idea is that I have a gearbox more suitable for European touring, or at least, touring in hilly areas, and will provide a higher ratio third gear.

There seem to be three sets of gears available - A Super Accessories set, a Nippy set, then an 'intermediate' set that sits somewhere between the 2. Does anyone have any real life experiences of running a touring car on any of the above? I'd like to make the right choice to start with. I'll be sticking with a 5.25 rear axle and it will just be 2 up and luggage..

Thoughts?
