what are the gear ratio for each? compared to each other. 1 2 3 4 5 reverse?

i personally hate the long 3rd gear in the quest. and was wanting a more even rpm for each gear shift. does the rx-7 have a more even ratio for each gear?

Read everything in this thread: <a href='http://beatingyou.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138' target='_blank'>http://beatingyou.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138</a>

If you have any questions after that, and you probably wont, feel free to post and we'll figure it out.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

3.54, 3.90, 4.22, 4.66 ... that's a decent amount of options if you ask me.

I know for a fact that the 3.54 will (that's stock) and the 3.90 and 4.22 will work with the LSD. In fact, there are already several guys on SQC that are running 3.90 gears.
