You'll feel a blunting of acceleration with longer gears on a small capacity na motor
You were right. [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Are some issues which if not tested there can be no clear view.

With the 4.4 final drive ratio the car lost acceleration.

Now I have put back the OEM (4.764) with the Japanese 4-5 and 0.659 sixth gear for cruising.

redline 9300rpm (battles) and daily drive 9100.

which setup recommend for roll second gear 37.282 mph - 124.27mph (60kph-200kph)?

215/45/17 tyres redline 9300rpm

stock tranny:
1st 44mph (70kph)
2nd 67mph (108kph)
3rd 94mph (152kph)
4th 125mph (201kph)
5th 155mph (250kph)

with jdm 4-5:
4th 118mph (190kph )
5th 147mph (237kph)

5.062 finale drive & oem gears:
1st 41mph (66kph)
2nd 63mph (102kph)
3d 89mph (143 kph)
4th 117mph (189kph)
5th 146mph (235kph)


5.062 finale drive & jdm 4-5:
4th 111mph (179kph)
5th 138mph (223kph)
