I rarely use 1st while driving my Ulster rep. It pulls away in 2nd with no problems. And fourth always seems a bit short (I mean it feels like there ought to be a 5th). Is it possible to have the gearbox modified, to alter the ratios to make 1st usable and 4th higher?
Cheers

It sounds like you want to go faster in top? I would say most fun is to be had with a lively car that is not over geared —  this will prove useful in traffic and better suited to hill climbing or sprints if you want to give that a go.
I would look at fitting a close ratio gearbox and tuning your engine to run reliably at around 4000 revs. That should get you along at around sixty (mph) which is a useful speed if you have a decent journey to do.
