Wow, first time someone has thrown the search card at me. :(

He obviously does not know who you are ;)

I really do not think anyone to date in the US has a 4.77 setup. I would just do the nitrous like swoope mentioned. You can always yank the final gear later when more are out.

Yeah, I don't really see a problem with having shorter gears and a nitrous system. I wouldn't bother using it in first, but after that should be fine.

I was patiently waiting for someone to conclude what is now known. It's so weird to observe the process of thought that occurs with people, especially on the internet. Why on earth did people assume that the S2000 would be correct or that the previous MX5 and the RX8 share anything.
Anyhow, I know someone who is attempting to bring the real deal to local markets. I won't be silent this time if this good news pans out.

alright, looks like i'll be holding off the gears for the time being..


oh well thats fine, i'll just go ahead with my nitrous setup i guess.

What ratio are you trying to get and for what chassis?

The AT RX-8s have 4:10 gears.

You'll have big problems staying hooked up as it is with nitrous...better to go numerically lower than higher, IMHO.

Actually the autos have the same ratio as the manual (4.4) for 04 and 05.
