hey Guys

I thought i'd show off my shinney new Albins gears:

3.55 x 2.25
1.44 X 0.93

Only thing I haven't bought is a Ring & Pinion, does that mean no slicks / burnouts or will it break eventually anyway?

Tall-ish R&P going in??

i dont know i really dont want to spend another $1000 plus the gears i seleceted work with the standard ring and pinnion ratio of 3.875 which i think i have??? any ideas if its 3.8 or 4.1??

Is there away to check before we open up the box? its a single side plate irs box.

and albins only sell a 4.57

Put it in second - mark (eg with whiteout) the output flange and the clutch. 8 turns of the clutch to one on the output flange is 3.88 - can't remember what the other calcs are.

what is a set of gears worth these days if you don't mind me asking?

I bet you sat and looked at them for hours!

Cost $1280 inc GST but on monday i will spend a further $1100 on a ring & pinnion.


I had to look at them for hours cause once in the box we will hopefully never ever see them again.

great value if it does the job I intend to do the same to my 091

I am no expert on gear selection and hope someone else can comment but I think 1st will still be far to short and sharp. You have heaps of power to get up and boogy and 1st is really a waist.

If your at 140kw atw, wait until you get more. For example, as you know running 180kw atw and my gears with SSP 3.875 R&P are 3.0, 2.0, 1.26 (I think) and 0.86.

Sit on just under 3k at 100km/h and first thing I noticed is I could actually if turning from a T intersection, get around the corner without having to change into 2nd. without it sounding like Im over revving.

i worked out with new gears and my 215/65/15 tyres ill have shift speeds of:

60kph
100kph
150kph
240kph

and each gear change at 7000rpm will drop to 4500rpm for the next gear.

so you a 1st gear of 3.55? mmmm
