Looking for what? Can't read Japanese =/

 

All of that patient waiting just to find out that it doesn't fit. What a **** tease. (Nothing personal Slick thanks for trying)

But anyway we already know that FEED's 4.778 fits fine, just need more people on here to install it.

So much for getting one at $296 though.

 

Here's a wild idea. Swap the rear differential with one from an S2k?

 

about the same as the gears

is there such tire? 17" with a 30mm side wall? I now you could go with 16" on a 40mm side wall

 

you would not want to run that size on the street

Try the Miata guys' tire calculation - a 255 wide tire would be 13% lower "geared".....

there seems to be a mazda 4.77 gear. from reading the jap forums is seems like it's off what they call the bongo.

anyone know how to check this part number?

I was very much hoping this would work. Considering the price Mazda sells the 5.12 ring and pinion for the RX8, this would have been a much cheaper solution.
I guess FEED would be the next best bet, but why the large disparity in the price difference

 

wow, 20,000 yen thats about 170 bucks. That's pretty cheap. Anyone got more info on this? Good find...

 

That's the FEED gear set. The part number is the Mazda 4.44 stock

 

ok honestly im gettin paid in like a couple weeks, ill go down to kia n buy a 4.778 ring n pinion gear set from kia, n take it to my teacher at UTI, well see if it needs to be cryo treated n then install it........ since obviously people r just laggin on here......n for u clowns that get on this thread, n ask the same DAMN questions that have been asked since the thread started.........Y dont u just read from the beginnin......22 pages of threads........n there hasnt been much progress.........so give me a couple weeks possibly a bit longer to get the parts if there is a delay......n ill let u know how it goes......

 

??

 

UTI? 'cryo treated'?

But yeah, gearing should be looked into more.

 

I bet the guy who tried it and found out it won't work will sell it to you rather cheap ... next time try reading, it's an easy way to be properly informed

ps: your english teacher at UTI should be fired

 

^ what teamrx8 said

 

I guess it takes a clown to know one ...

 

I love people that can't type.... Or read either for that matter... Since a page or two ago it was discovered that the 4.7 gear won't work. Blarg.

 

WOW

 

Anyone want to bet you won't hear from this dude again? Come on, any takers?

 

Someone needs to buy the FEED gear and give us some performance figures. It'd also be nice if Fab8, who as far as I know is the only person on this forum that owns one, could provide some.

 

This thread officially achieved "hilarity" when this was posted at 6:51AM (considering page 20) :

Just curious, what do you do with all the spare time you save by leaving out letters like "An", "Yo", "g", etc.? After a hundred posts, you might have saved as much as a dozen seconds, I'd wager!

 

People have used Kia rear ends in older RX-7's before. You'd be surprised at how many parts from other cars have been transplanted.
