Any news Mitch?
jugbugz..how is the 4.78 now you have had time to get used to it?
102 km/h 9000 rpm is what DC2 makes with a 4.78 FD. Mine makes 105 km/h at 8800 rpm with the stock 4.4. The acceleration is slighty better but it cannot get noticed easily tha's why you can't tellnothings changed haitch... I don't like the fact 2nd gear ends at 102kmph @9000rpm. Other than that, you just have to change gears sooner when driving around town. acceleration no different or can't tell.
Anybody near TGM that have the 4.78 in their EK9?
Hadnt heard from the guy who emailed Eriks racing so I thought I would find out about delivery price myself, I included my main location and postcode in the email (everything but my house number), this is the reply:
Well in order to get you started on a price for Shipping i will need a full
billing address that this final drive would be shipping to and i would like
a matter of payment that will be recived on our part.

Anybody dealt with them, is it me or does this seem a touch rude? Already have a decent quote from Jugbugz so..
Also when I look at RVM's post http://www.ek9.org/forum/transmissi...-final-drive-gear-ratio-speed-comparsion.html and compare gear ratios for the Integra here http://www.itr-dc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33788 it seems they are the same except for 4th & 5th (if both charts are correct), so am I missing something on 'upgrading' to a 4.78FD in your EK9?
