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..
(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...
But group F rally starlets is hellish fast here in finland.. on gravel.
Search on youtube "Brutal starlet driving"

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.

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

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

pod wouldnt be anywhere near efficient as that.
