      Why the heck would you want a close ratio box?

      www.v-tuning.com out of england? makes LSD and different size final drive gears for the F series transmission. THey have the f16 listed for installing a quaife but no price for the quaife on the site. If you get a shorter final drive, it will bring all the gears closer together.

      And make the already unnecessarily high rpm 5th gear worse, its bad enough the car runs at 3k rpm at 65 mph, i couldnt stand it beeing at 4k or more with a close ratio box, id like my rpm to be 2k at 65mph.

      Re: close ratio gear box..

      im not sure mine is quite at 3000 when i am at 65, i will have to look tonight. i was thinking it was closer to 2600?
      i drive it at 3500-3750 though in 5th gear, at 75-80 mph.. but its been a while since i have been on the highway. maybe my memory is bad. if not, anyone know if they change ratios/final drive on the 09's for the new engine?

      it would be interesting but its pointless unless you are doing major modding like ill be doing, or Nemasys and his new engine
