Don't worry, there is less expensive 3.90 gears available

Glad you are enjoying the new rear build Sideways, good luck with the car

I can understand that response.


Puddydad should be able to source you some gears at a more reasonable cost.

That's nuts. I like how you call it your four hundred horse tune.

hoooly crap, I hope those aren't the gears he really "sourced" through Bulletproof. He knows himself that they are just mazda gears. Probably only a couple hundred bucks from the dealer.

I like everything I see here. Are you a 2.0L still? I assume so with being able to make power past 9,000RPM

Sideways thread is not about the gear set price or brand but, about the performance difference he has experienced with the 3.90 ratio. Please don

Nice review. If I was turbo making 400-500hp, or making the kind of power you're making on the SC, I'll send my puddydiff back for this gear swap in a heart beat.
