hood looks sick mike. You doing the same turbo set up as on the rx7? Use a masterpower turbo this time, or take dinos off the zilvia. Thats a good size for your car.

Mike,

What gears do you have in the 91? Wanna trade 372s? Axle swap? These 372s (or what ever the #) are killing me. LOL. TH-700R4 off the line is great, and these gears feel great going up Stunt RD, but at 3K RPM @ 80 MPH is killing me. Takes the TPI out of its power range. Its a posi rear end, disk brakes, etc.

Oh, this axle was Mike Leafs if that means anything to ya. It was out of his grandma's blue Camaro. True story, ask him. The one he sold Andrew. LOL....

Ah damn. I just went from 273s/Drums to what I got now. It was worth a shot.

Right on man, thanks. BUT its a 4th gen axle? I'm thinking that would be too wide for my 3rd gen. I'm running stock 3rd gen rims. Let me research this a little bit more.

You can run the 4th gen rear but it'll make your GTA wheels stick out like 2 inches on each side.
