RE: Final drive calculation.
well, your speedo is 30% over reading, so a final drive that is upto 30% taller would make the gap smaller, but will also have a HUGE effect on the drive itsself. I went from final ratio 4.3 to 3.3 (which is less then 30%) and it killed the speed/acceleration i had, but gave me comfort and better fuel economy in return.
If you like the way it drives, i would do what ditn recommends, there are different companies making stuff like that. Otherwise go for a bit taller gearing and live with less then 30% overreading on the dash (a stock 80s Toyota will overread by 10-20% anyway, highly inaccurate stuff). Have a play with a calculator like this: http://www.cargister.com/calculator-gear-ratio "It's all about the heart, the people who focus on parts, turbo's and all that stuff...they're just losers." -Shinji Minowa |
