Krzys Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 give it some flat shifting see if it slips, thatll soon show the problem Changing the final drive,,for a longer one? lighter flywheel i take itlove to egg on ep3's, had an awesome "spirited drive" with one the other week. roll start, pulled cars on him in 3rd thanks to the longer legs,,,,he give up after that didn't look happy lolShorter final drive for acceleration then a longer ratio 5th for cruising on a run! Revs will actually sit a bit lower than on the OEM 5th gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revs will actually sit a bit lower than on the OEM 5th gear. That sounds like a good idea.. Although there would be a very large drop from 4th to 5th ???

Grant Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Be bigger than before, may ask the man who's done it to get a decent answer! I think it would only really be felt if you were still going for it at the top end of fourth .. With our standard lengths, fourth is FAST lol, think mine will pull nearly a ton in 3rd.. But reducing the FD, maybe you need to have the 4th - 5th .. dunno .. Will be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've asked Simon, hopefully get his opinion on it as he's got this actual set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just noticed it once really, and that was from right up in the revs in 4th, and it dropped out of the power, but that type of change is going to be pretty rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesyMB6 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think 3rd is near 100mph and 4th is near 120 from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
