   I recently changed one as i snapped the mounts when i crashed!
   
   It looks like it has a higher rev range as in at 50mph its nearly at 3k on the meter when it was like 2.5k as far as i can remember, do i need to do anything to change this at all it might just be me being mental (as usual) but i thought i would check
   
   Cheers

   Nope high rev range on the VTS as the 16v responds as a different rev range, to make it more sporty

   VTS has a high final drive, think its 3.9 where as VTR is 3.7 (If im correct on those figures)
