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

 

Can you fit a 1st gen LSD into a Kia chunk? Or just take the 4.77 outta the kia chunk and put it into the 1st gen chunk?

 

yeah... suprised you guys didnt know this yet. i think s2000 gearsets work too

 

not sure but it sounds good

 

Yeah I bet those are pricy. I tried ths out because it was cheap. $45

 

well that was the big deal, the mazda geatset was like $600 honda is like $250, but honda used the mazda diff

 

tested the car this past wensday. she went 13.80 nothing broke. ran with high tire presure, almost no burnout, and crappy launches.

 

13.50

 

Now thats what i need ... a 4.77 gearset ... i've been meaning to do it htis for a while, and i think there's a thread about swapping out the LSD unit from your old R&P to the Kia
