I'm gonna change my final drive.
Its currently a 3.1 and i'm changing to a 3.4 as its to over geared!
I do like its gearing now, its perfect for motorways but i just cant pull away quick without slipping the clutch
Currently it does 40mph in 1st 65 in 2nd 100 in third and the most ive ever done is 120 so i think i can drop it without loosing to much top speed
.
What do u think would be a good ratio?

Hi Dave,
I should think 3.4 would be fine for a road car on 12" wheels. It does depend a bit on what cam/head/C.R. you have.
If I remember correctly your engine is not standard anyway, so it's actual spec will be a big factor.
I guess what you don't want is a 3.9 diff like my red car!
Give me a call if you want to talk about this.
By the way, how's the handling now we have b******d about with it?

Hello Cooperman
Yeah my engine is far from std with most of the power after 4000rpm
Theres not allot low down which is whats making it hard to pull away!!
I will try the 3.4 first and see how it is!
But the car was handling V well till i took it of the road so it is HUGE thanks to you and Chris
Do you know if chris still needs doors?
