One of thr most important things with rotary cars is gear ratios. I heard about this before but it was kinda vegue. kia sportage 4x4. the front chunk or 3rd member. Its a direct bolt in application. It has to be an 84-85 rear. No modifications what so ever, use 84-85 drive shaft. 4.77 gear ratios. like most mods theres some give and take. Its an open diff no lsd. But if your a drag person just weld the spider gears or planetary gears and your ready to destroy hondas,,, ******* hondas! The facory ring and pinion on these cars suck, god knows ive broke my fair shair the kia is way way thicker. I did this to my friends car so I know it works. before the car went 14.4 with a streetport and hes not the gratest driver so im predicting low 13's thats awesome no fuelinjection no turbo and no 13b
