4.77 + Ring & Pinion Gear Sets!

For those of you that really want to kick your acceleration up a few notches...

Solomiata : Drivetrain : Interchange

Solomiata : Transmission : Ring and pinion tooth counts

I recently picked up a set of 5.38 gears for a KIA Sportage front diff. AKA for my next SA/FB project. The pinion gears could also be grafted onto an FC's long pinion....

I had to order from Korea, thx to some info I found here: 5.38 ring and pinions - 4x4Wire TrailTalk

picorp@hanmail.net <-That's the contact email for gear sets. Cost me $287.00 and they are VERY quick. I paid 02/09/17 @ 8PM PST it was on an airplane flying out of S. Korea by the 11th and I had the gears in hand by the 14th or 15th.

Here is a link for 4.77 R&P for the sportage

Hyundai/Kia SPORTAGE GEAR SET-FINAL 0K01427110 MM05727110

$222.86

How is that 5.38? What trans are you using behind that? You must rip through the gears with that!
