Hi all,
As title really. I've searched and cannot find an answer even though there are numerous final drive threads already. Hopefully this will be a useful reference for others in the same boat as me.
So my EP3 is a purely road car and will be used at weekends only for short A road and B road blats. No other significant changes - intake and catback. Will leave stock manifold and cat in to keep it all legal and quiet. Considering a K100 too to get the most out of the breathing and midrange.
My question is when the box is opened to put my Quaife diff in I am considering a 5.1 or 5.3 final drive in. As the car won;t be used on the motorways 6th gear revs aren't really an issue but at the same time I don;t want to go deaf or cry at the discomfort of silly high revs all the time. I was going to get a 5.1 FD but concerned the difference will not be great from the stock 4.7 FD. Should I get a Spoon (Honda) 5.3 instead?
Looking forward to your input.
