Ray -- you're answering some of the questions I had in my mind but had
not yet put to 'paper'.
When you mention group deal, are you talking about PAR constant-mesh
straight cut gears, or the 'synchro' set Mike mentioned in an earlier email?
Mike makes it obvious that there is a good bit of cost (parts, labor and
other time)
involved in strenghening the transmission. I also would prefer to spend
more and
get a truly strong transmission. I would be very interested in a group deal
on a
'synchro' set of gears.
And, what's the minimum count to constitute a 'group' ? =:^)...
Mike - does your set have the same gear ratios as the stock transmission ?
Would
a NA or turbo SE-R benefit from a higher (numerically lower) first gear
ratio? From
other gear ratio mods ? I'd kinda like to drop the revs a little more in
5th.
