Shorter ratio gears for 1*2?

[Jack Gilbert]

Hello,

just wondering what people have done in terms of shorter ratio gears? For an example people use VTR box's in their VTS so is there any other box with a shorter ratio that goes on or is there a set of gears you can buy?

Jope I have made some sort of sense!

Regards

is this a track car?

what gearbox have you got in yours? ph1's have wider spec'd ratios and a higher final drive than ph2 172's and 182's

Phase 2 box has a lower final drive than the phase 1, gear ratios are the same. There is no better box (using Stock Renault stuff) for them imo. We looked i to it a lot for the race car and ended up with phase 2 box.

What boxes did they use on the S1600? Although I can imagine it'd be £££££.

In fact, ignore me, because the S1600 probably couples to the box differently too.

I stand corrected.
Ph1 172 089
ph2 172 129
182 130

If you have got 6-10k spare, you can have whatever you like.

I had a jb1 box on my clio , first gear was way to short!! But the rest was realy nice . I know the bearings off a jb are crap but it lasted 2yr( with alot off abuse ).

Now i have fitted a low milage engine with the jc5 with circlip welded .
