Ok so there have been a few discussions about this on both forums but assuming your raiding the honda parts bin to put together a gearbox for a lude which ratios/fd from which boxes would you use.

This would be good to know. Id like a shorter final drive on my Type S. Type S is geared to around 160mph. Id be happy at 130-140 and shorter gears.

Wanna rebuild my M2B4 before it goes onto the BB4, so it will be interesting, dunno what the ratio's are like between the M2A4 and the M2B4 but current box just seems really lazy, maybe it's just me
