hmm... my feeling is e.g at 5000rpm i feel say 10 "something" when i have my 4.4 final drive, now i feel the same 10 "something" at 4000rpm and 5000rpm have "something" from 5500 or 6000 when i got 4.4. . So it is very good for street i reckon. correct me if i am wrong.. just the feeling tho not theory.

It makes the rpm goes up faster, which means you can "reach" the torque faster, you car still got the same torque....... for example, the max torque appear in 5000pm, then if you have change the FD, you reach 5000rpm lot faster that's it.......

Well the foreman should stick to being a foreman and not making remarks like you have gained torque when you haven't gained jack shit bro.

I would have personally laughed in his face....

Accel. increase from changes in gearing and lightening of drivetrain components does not = increase in torque.

the rev goes a little bit faster, a lot more torque increased. I found no regret fitting the final drive. I dun have any hassels on changing gear a lot. You can find out in someother usa fourm. everyone is happy with the ATS final drive.

The final drive is designed for everyday car , coz it makes a lot more torque. and also getting out of corner.

I can still go up to 170km with my 4th gear. i never try 5th.. coz i dun need to drive that quick.

Ummm.......... I dont really think changing gears constantly is a everyday car. Its like playing Gran Turismo, buy a car and playing around and guessing the gear ratios and the car revs like crazy and constantly changing gears when its only doing 50kms. I hope your car isnt like that.

I think when you change your lower final drive, you kill your petrol faster due to higher revs OR constantly changing gears to eat less petrol and going at lighting turtle speed.

Correct me if im wrong

I went to Advan [SYD] two days ago and they told me to get a power fc before touchin the engine or it would be just a waste of time touching the engine. :thumbdwn:

But then again the bang for bucks from Advan also say for low buget ( not plannign to get a ecu ) some many mods b4 getting a ecu...

IM LOST.:confused:

Happy,
The bang for bucks thread is from me, TODA Racing Australia...
It is not from ADVAN. Any ascociation I had with ADVAN ended when I left.
Seriously,
Stick to the low budget bang for bucks list & you won't waste your money.
Lightweight flywheel & HD clutch + lower final drive.

Re PFC...
It will work a wee bit, but seriously, on your car it's just not worth it, as yet.
Cheers

yes, as it would 'appear' that you had more torque, but in reality it was just arriving sooner ;)

oh man... y are you keep thinking changing gears a lot, dun expect too much .. the rev is not that quick. approx my 1st gear rev up to 50, 2nd 90, 3rd 130, 4th 170km/hr dun know 5th.

petrol is no big deal, its only 500rpm higher than your normal 4.4 final drive.
i can still run 450kms per tank. so i am happy with it.

Seriously, our cars are not even 2 liter. if petrol is a big deal for u. dun waste time on this and spend more time on an Echo. This mean you can never have a very quick car, and fuel economy.

Anyone who are using ATS final drive plz give some comments.
and please correct me if i am wrong. thx
