won't fit??? any reason???

what's the part number for the Ring&Pinion for 09'? Is it direct fit for 03-08'?

 

this thread isnt about 09 final drive gear and yes that one bolts up

 

the 09 final drive will cost a lot more than $250.

i looked it up on kia parts. i dont feel like wading through 17 pages of crap to find whether anyone did this.

although i did see that canzoomer ran 13.78 with 215/35/17 tires and their stage 1 map.

 

it won't work, please somebody please close this dead thread

 

09 final drive gear around 600 from mazmart

 

thats not too bad.

 

i know the gear from the kia doesnt work in the rx8 but wat about 4.77 gears made specifically for the rx8 would that be usable in the rx8

 

The 4.777 OE R&P made for the RX-8

Somebody PUH-LEASE close this inane, needless, and all-around misleading thread

 

No way dude this is fun. And has some good info in it too

 

Had to go through so many pages just to read that the KIA rnp doesnt fit the rx8 pumpkin. Can't the OP or a mod edit the initial post to include this info?
Sigh.
You can always order the S2 rnp directly from mazdaspeedmotorsports for about 650 shipped, or from the regular online mazda stores for 700ish. The part number is RS08-27-110A. Yes, its double the original price but its still worth the swap if you want a brand new, oem fit part. The bearings/seals can be had for another 200 or so online. Having had a difficult time finding a used 2009-2011 pumpkin (and bracket) from an 6spd s2, id say this is a worthwhile swap.

Added an Edit to the original post...hope this helps 😉

 

it could still be closed and serve the same purpose, dreamer ...
