I know this sounds retarded as ****, but I want LONGER gears in my TII.





Anyone ever put a 3.9 ring and pinion out of an S5 auto rear end, into a TII pumpkin?





Is this possible?





How much longer were your gears increased by (rev's to mph)?





I wanna be drifting in 2nd, at like, 70mph.





I ******* hate shifting, and I wanna be cruising on the highway at, like, 1500 RPM's instead of 3400.





****, even anything in the 3.70's out of like a mazda truck would sound awesome too.

You need a Camaro





Does the 3.9 out of an FD auto drivetrain fit in the TII case?
