How many of you have swapped in the 4.30 final drive gear ratio? Did it make a big difference? Was it worth the $500?

If you're going to add the TII transmission you should try to get a TII rear end as well. Then it's a good excuse to make the switch to 4.3. I've never used the 4.3 before, but people have told me they liked it. When I switch the rear in my car I'm going to go with the 4.3.

ILUVMY88CABRIO 12-11-2001 12:32 AM
Yeah, I was going to swap out rear ends when I swap out my tranny. I am going to change the ring & pinion gears to 4.30 while its all out. Just wanted feedback from someone that has it in there car. I have heard that it'll shave about a second off your quarter mile time. You know if it's true? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

I don't know if it will knock a second off of your time, but it should help alot. Why worry? You'll need a 7.5 to beat me. :newlaugh:

ILUVMY88CABRIO 12-11-2001 07:03 PM
7.5?!?!? With what car?

I meant a 7.5 ring and pinion.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Did you think I meant the 1/4 mile? :p

Yeah, I was going to say that "I think your breaking some kind of a record there!" Oh well. So where do you live?

I wish mycar could do 7.5's, but I don't think it would be very streetable. I live in NY. We have ALOT of RX-7's here. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

You never see any 7s around here, well if you do its a 40 year old woman driving. Every once and a while I'll see a 2nd gen with exhaust, raced one once and killed it. The only fixed up 7s I see are 3rd gens, and it is rare. People fix up stupid **** here. The other day I saw a older Saturn on rims and a bunch of yellow stickers and a yellow racing stripe. Tons of hondas with 4 foot tall wings, but most of them are slow. I wish I saw more fixed up 7s around. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

I never saw one all riced out, but I did hear one that sounded like it had an exhaust. My friend and I heard it, and we just looked at each other and laughed.https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

:tounge:

Y'all wanna talk pathetic? Come to oklahoma!

'Whats a Rotary?' sums it all up. Its like I'm stranded far behind enemy lines or something. A rotorhead struggling to survive in a mudrunnin, hickdriven, pistonpowered world.

Ack.

Same here in alabama.

the funniest thing i ever saw was a primer grey honda accord (with a vtec transplant) get beat by a riced-out saturn. the dude in the accord couldn't even look at the guy in the saturn it was hilarious.

Here in New York, people have no shame, it doesnt matter what it is, or the condition of it, it has some or all of the following: a HUUUGE tipped muffler, a monster tach, a stupid aluminum wing ( putting rear down force on a stock front wheel drive car- smart huh? ), and if they cant afford rims, chrome like 13-14" wheel covers. Oh and I love the fish scale tint as well.
