I was just wondering,would it be possible to get a higher top end speed from my car,at the moment shes doing 125mph,id be intrested in touching the 140mph!If that would be possible?

you would need to change your box and diff, I have a uk spec box in my RA and it hits that easy. Personally I would have prefered the proper RA box but it was changed before I got the car. Lets face it you wont keep your license long at those speeds
|
OR you could take the more sensible approach and find someone who can change the fifth gear ratio for you. If you decide to change the box, dont bother going to a uk one, get a later STI one, you get ~20mph/1000rpm in fifth and fun ratios on 1st to 4th. You could keep your 4.444 rear diff too. :)
|
If anyone finds out about extending the fifth gear for a better top end could you please let me know, it is something that i would like for better motorway driving.

I have seen various threads knocking baout where people have put a more appropriate motorway 5th gear or wotever in shud b able 2 find easy enough with a quick search or just post a new thread ;)
Minty u r but a stones throw away m8 u fancy kuming 2 the Cov area meets in the new year, we're a friendly bunch & sum of us r even knowledgable :eek: lol Si http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/...nachten022.gif |
Hopefully the scooby should be back on the road for the new year and so i will hopefully be able to make it over there, thanks for the invite.
Doing a few mods to it at the moment ... including sourcing and fitting a weld in roll cage ... so the dash is out at currently. Hope to see you soon. |
a new spec 5th from then appropriate year uk car will be ideal and only about 60 quid from your local dealer...
|
Just sell the Type RA and get a Uk spec. car!! Seems a lot easier than changing gear boxes and diff's!.......if you did this I bet you'll miss the acceleration.

John Felstead changed the 5th gear ratio in his STi5 Type R/A.
Last time we spoke, if i remember correctly, he was considering changing it back again as it was giving too much of a gap between 4th and 5th for trackdays ~ And the ratios for the early type r/a's are even shorter than the late ones like JFs! Maybe mail him and find out? hope this helps, simon:D |
