4.44 where to buy ?
Hi,
I'm looking for a 4.44 final gear ratio.
I don't want an expensive JS or whatever > 1000$ !!!
450$ part from Science of speed and GT motoring are currently out of stock.
If anyone can help ???
I know there are 4.44 equivalent at Mazda (RX8) or Kia front axle but I can’t get the part number and don’t know where to buy… I only found the ref for the 4.77 from Kia.

The gear set is around $600/$700 from Mazda. Check with Mazda or Miata. net for your part number needed 
The RX8 or RX7 will not fit our car
The gear set you need is from the RX2 and RX3 cars

Thanks...
It's the first time I read RX8 gear set won't fit, I remember a post & article giving this information.
It's also the first time I read I need RX2 or 3 parts...
Sorry to ask but is it information you heard or personnal experience ?

so i was on racingbeat.com and i saw a 4.444 set for 545. will that fit our cars?
here the info on it.
here the info on it.
Racing Beat offers the Mazda OEM 4.444 Ratio Ring & Pinion Set for the following Rotary and Miata Applications: RX-2, RX-3 SP, 1979-85 RX-7, and the 1995-99 Miata.
Alternate axle ratios are available for special applications. These ratios interchange exactly with the stock parts and should be adjusted to stock specifications (except as noted on the information sheet supplied with the gear set). If you replace your existing gear set with a lower ratio (higher number) gear set you will increase the vehicle's acceleration and move through the transmission gears quicker, but you will simultaneously reduce the top speed of the vehicle for a given rpm limit. However, if you reduce your existing gear set with a higher ratio (lower number) gear set you will decrease the vehicle's acceleration and move slower through the gears, but the top speed of the vehicle will increase for the same given rpm limit as in the previous example.
Note that the RX-3 SP uses the same gear sets as the RX-2 and RX-7, while other models of the RX-3 have a different selection of gears. The pinion shaft is longer on the conventional RX-3.
