I am interested in purchasing some longer gears for my s2000 (turbo charged). I had a talk with my friend about the benefits it would do since my rpm's go by EXTREMELY fast with my current setup (lovefab 400+ whp and 270+ torque). Are there any cars that I can use their final drive or would I have to ask a company to custom make one for me? Any comments or ideas are welcome!

 

Bulletproof has some 3.909s from Tracy Sports....rather expensive.

 

wow $1600...any cheaper solutions?

 

Skyline diff, you can get a whole slew of gears

 

Would you be willing to pay about $5k for a whole new diff that's many many times stronger?

 

nah, I don't need a stronger diff because I don't launch my car hard. I just want longer gears for everyday driving so I don't have to shift a million times and also for racing. I want to slightly raise my max speed because I end up topping my car out in a few seconds on a 80 roll.

 

same here

i run out of gearing real quick

 

Have you considered larger tires and raising the redline a few hundred rpms?

 

My redline is already at 8450 (ap2), and I'm planning on getting some 265s...I'm sure that will make a difference, but definitely not the difference I want.

 

He meant taller diameter tires, not wider. They have the exact same effect as longer gears.
