That 4.351 final is too long.. what is in f8b gearbox. Over 5 is much better.

Now i have:
1st 3.9
2nd 2.5
3rd 1.6
4th 1.1

final 5.2

Actually i plan to replace reverse with 5th gear or 1st gear. But it has some broblems..
That reverse gear.. :D

(i dont have time to install those gears yet...)

Thats alot of work, but i guess to make the f6a work you need custom shafts, use the clutch and flywheel from the f6a and custom gearbox mounts. Not sure about gear linkages.

When i tested first time my engine... on track.. Stock clutch slides badly.

But now when i install those new gears with better shaft and stronger copper clutch.

Money burns but i have fun when stock supra´s or else "sportcars" try get catch my 480kg/(hopely)100hp SPORTcar... :D

But group F rally starlets is hellish fast here in finland.. on gravel.

Starlets are quick as.

You should of went v8 if its a track car, only reason we keep our f8b's is coz we drive them on the road, so gotta keep it legal, kinda.

My suzi is street legal ;) if i keep that f8b(no matter how powerful it is...) and i don´t really see any reasons why i have to chance that awesome 3cyl away..

Well.. i will be sick.. suzuki alto/hatch with v8 but that is worst thing drive on track.. No grip, no handling, only fast.. nothing else but huge burnouts.

I had my head ported when it was reconditioned, with new valves & shimmed up the springs. Feels about the same below about 50kph, after that, it has a lot more pickup & top end, easily runs off the speedo! Still running stock cam, carby & intake.

Going to turbo & EFI setup, hopefully all running by the end of this year. Might go for a regrind cam if i feel the need.

Cheers

Cool, i bet that air intake makes a big difference, compared to the stock air cleaner assembly.

Cheers

A pod would of been easier. But that looks pretty sweet.
