  1. Not an option since we have an lsd...wouldnt fit the 8 bolt pattern, and the car isnt that powerfull to, no need for stronger internals....just found out yesterday that the homologatiin extensions have a shorter ratio on gears, got all details so i think will end up doing each gear custom....need to think about it and price for it since will be expenssive
  2. So it seems that i have not much room around it. I tought of 6 speed gearboxes but they are hard to get and expenssive. I think i will end up going to another road wich is order some custom gears. Thanks for the help guys, if i do end up changing anything in the gearbox, will let you know the result ;)
  3. Hehehe nice to know you guys like it ;) little island in portugal called madeira, on the left side of Morroco
  4. Just checked a old diff wheel we have and its 6 holes...since i cant mix the gears, what about using both pinion and diff wheel we have with the c56 gears?
  5. Well ive got some dilema in my hands but im hoping for someone to help me out with it. Since its my first time posting about this, i will let you first take a look at the car hehe https://www.facebook.com/pmcsrally/photos_stream So, the dilema. Well atm from engine (4EFE) wise the car is performing well and i have no intention to mess with it, but im having a bit of a problem with the gears. I live in Madeira island and what i do most are hillclimbs events. In the hairpins im using 2nd gear and while it holds up, it bogs down a bit but well, that isnt the bigger issue, the bigger issue is really my 3rd gear wich is very long and its costing me many seconds in the stage as its probably the gear that is most used. Take a look at the videos to see what im talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULcziP-21u8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jklJn4kiOo We have a final gear ratio of 4.857 (68/14) that was custom made by previous owner. I have searched and found that the 4EFTE gearbox (C56) has the 3rd and 4th gears a bit shorter than the 4EFE gearbox (C150?). With all of this said im looking into having the 3rd gear shorter in order to improve that range in my gearbox, so im asking for help in this. Since we have a nice custom final gear, would it be possible to mix the gears from C56 and the C150 to make a nice gearbox for the car, including the final custom gear we have? Is it worth the hassle and the money spent on it or im better off trying to ask for some custom gears? Thanks in advance for the read and the time spent trying to help.
