Has anyone played with the final drive in the standard RA gearbox or put the RB final drive into an RA gearbox...

Any thoughts?

Isn't the final drive the same? - I only ask because I looked at the gear ratios on Wikipedia and it has 4.125 as the final drive for both.

Have I misunderstood, and you're asking about a "hybrid gearbox"?

Arse, does the GTi box final drive fit ours and is it compatible with our boxes?

Just thinking about changing the ratios for more acceleration on track.

I think you could probably build a hybrid gearbox to do this; the problem (to my eye) is that the RA 3rd gear is the same ratio as 4th on the RB, but RA 4th is bigger than the RB 5th. - Would you have to use after-market gear sets to achieve the ratios you'd like?
