Hmmm. 4.2 dif currently. Suck it and see.

First glance at speed range chart suggests 4.2 gives 25mph in first,with top wack at 140, which sounds a bit short...  but then 3.9 gives 27 in first and 150 top wack.

Acceleration will be good but changing gear in quicker succession might be tiresome. I guess we'll have to see.

I do miss blipping on down changes.

what I like with 4.22 diff car go on every gear same from 0 to 140+ speed just keep going
with 3.9 diff will go over 150 easy , but where you going to drive this sort of speed in uk?

Exactly why I fitted 4.2.
Divided by 5 gears, instead of 4, hopefully the effect will be more dramatic.

swap for a diesel 2.2 diff? 3.45 ratio then

the one in your garage is 4.22 !

I'd stick with the standard set-up at first, but paying careful attention to the change linkage.

Other than that, I'm planning a BMW linkage and a lighter flywheel.

That's a party I'm steering well clear of!

You're going to need a big suitcase! What are you going to bring back? I'm guessing something(s) big, GM and with the right number of cylinders..
