Well my understanding of a gear ratio is this.. Its like the circumference of a wheel multiplied by Pi (3.4somethingsomething).
So if you have a wheel (in this case a cog) which is 2 inches in diameter and then multiplied it by Pi, that'll give you your gear ratio for that gear (whichever it is)
I think im right, somebody please correct me if i'm wrong :D
your just getting that from biking arn't you :P
take a wide corner at 100 km/h then punch the throttle and the car will hover sideways. Now that i have done the LSD conversion with the ITR tranny i dont get this [whatever you want to call it] feeling.Quote:

Yeah understeers a bitch... I wouldn't mind an LSD... just too costly with everyhting else... but apparently everyone swears by them and says do it before performance mods, faster time etc...
MAYBE.
btw, i am just posting a real life scenario and not a theoretical judgement as a guide only to back up what i was saying.

So where in Melbourne can I buy an LSD for my 89 Model CRX? :?: :?:
I'm trying to find one,
thanks guys,

huh???...5th gear only pulls a 220km/h??...are you sure???
err...errr....my 4th goes well over 205km/h dude....and you expect 5th gear pulls just another 15km/h??....hmm...weird...that means something wrong with my car...hmm hmm....
one more thing....when you really throw your car in a wide corner at 100km/h, and you full throttle it...will it really drift?...errr.....i know if you really wanna drift a civic with LSD, turn in fast...let go the peddel when you turn hard, accelrate, counter steer, then you might have a so called drift...but i won't try it dude...i'm not SUCH a good and daring driver as you man...or why don't you show us a clip of your drift???
i'll b freaking impress with it........worship you dude...
hmm....civic Type R, you sound like you a really good driver yourself...i really want to see how you drive...philip island track day is coming...would you be coming?...if you can drive about 1:57-2:00 min with semi slicks and coil overs setting...i'll be very impress dude...and please teach me how to do that kinda cornering....i'll be dying to learn from you...Quote:
