Be glad you're not stuck with 3..

skunks 04-15-04 07:27 AM

just stick in a 6 gear set or replace your 4th and 5th gear with a larger ones to compensate.

Justbeatz03 04-15-04 10:03 AM

my goal is to beat an acura NSX first gear wise.... normally only people with 6 gears can do that...

91_fc 04-15-04 10:18 AM

My point is that most of the time when you have 6 gears, its because you have a lot of power under your hood... so is there a way to do it or not?

LMAO dude! WTF...you can only beat them with 6 gears!?!?!? I've seen plenty 5 speeds spank NSX's. Dude learn a little about cars before you attempt such a race.

NSX? 6-Speed?
Are you in the right forum?

Justbeatz03 04-15-04 10:42 AM

So your telling me an 89 n/a could beat an nsx 0-60 without some major work?

Justbeatz03 04-15-04 10:43 AM

or without a better first gear shall i say...

sub9lulu 04-15-04 10:47 AM

...
let me guess ... u 13 ?

Justbeatz03 04-15-04 10:52 AM

no, 19.... how did you even get on hat subject, simple question that no one can answer... where can i get the parts to do this?

tweaked 04-15-04 11:15 AM

why not just swap you rear end gear? it's cheaper. and your not going to beat the NSX. you might out accelerate for a bit, but he's gonna shove it right up your a-hole.

Tofuball 04-15-04 12:15 PM

Tweaked is right, if you need to gear down and only care about the distance between gears, swap out the differential gear.

Oh yes, you're not beating that NSX unless you sabotage it thoroughly before hand. Or the driver is really, really drunk.

Take some consolodation that your car probably costs far less then a tenth the price of the NSX.

MaxJenius211 04-15-04 01:16 PM

I'm not sure why Overdrive quoted me.

The factors in this thread are all histerical.

NSX? The NSX is an overpriced luxury that only people that really love the car waste money on. Is doable bro, even with the 5 gears.

There's so many 12 and 11 second TII's down here that would rape an NSX anyday.

SureShot 04-15-04 01:22 PM

15" wheels w/40 profile tires.

Weight reduction - lots of weight reduction - extreme weight reduction.
EG: no dash, no interior, no 2nd seat, no hatch, no sunroof, no hood, no headlights, no doors, etc..

Well, maybe keep the door shells with no glass..

Then go on a diet.

oakback 04-15-04 02:02 PM

are miata trannies 6 spd? I've heard on numerous occasions about swapping the guts of the miata tranny into an fc tranny shell.

yeah thats the easiest way to go 6speed, although there arent a lot of proven facts about the miata gears strength.

jgrts20 04-15-04 03:28 PM
