Final Drive tried and tested
 
Tried out Bro Sam's car today which has the final drive installed together with auto exe racing clutch and flywheel. I must say the acceleration is VERY much improved from stock. The car just pulls so much faster in the initial revs. For a while i had the feeling i was in a totally different car. Although its still not in FI territory but i think this is a must have mod for all NA enthusiasts. Cruising at 100 is abt 3500 so i think not that much different from stock.

The racing clutch also quite fun, my first time driving one, so stalled a few times due to the narrower biting point. But once in motion, its shiok to drive, just throw all the clutch u want..

Im quite set on getting this mod but i think i will wait for my clutch to wear out first den change the final drive with the clutch. Its quite a bit of difference, i felt it damn strongly when i got back into my own car :sad:

How involved is the installtion of the final gear? This is high on my mod priority list since I'm staying all motor.

Racing clutch feels entirely different.

tems900 used to have a racing clutch on his car and he has used it a good 2 years.... so to answer ur question, yes it is possible.

Racing clutch is hard, not really advisable if u need to park your car on those multi level carpark & it do not last that long, performance is better as compare to those softer sport clutch, there e trade off , see what u want.
