    Have you got the ratios the wrong way round?
    If you changed diff ratios from 4.2-1 to 3.7-1 that would surely raise the gearing.
    Also it’s the 4.2 that’s normally less expensive as there are more of them around.

      It is quicker than original but you could always do with more power lol

    I put a diff. In many years ago and couldn’t get the prop shaft back then someone told me i Han to tilt the prop shaft slightly upwards so I did and it went straight in .

    What the exhaust that your using ?

    • @MarksWheels
      @MarksWheels  Год назад +1

      Hi Jim. The exhaust is currently a k series downpipe into a reducer then a Toyota Yaris center box as a silencer. This is all to try and get an original look and sound but I am finding it a bit restrictive

    I may be being a bit thick but if you've gone from the 4.21 to a 3.7 then you've now got a 'taller' or higher ratio diff in it? This will lower acceleration and give a higher top speed will it not? I've gone from a 4.2 to a 3.9 in my Morris and the cars revs lower at higher speeds now?

      Might be the other way then lol. My maths isn't what it used to be lol

      @@MarksWheels yeah, I was a bit confused too!
      I have a 4.2 in my KMidget and it’s a bit ‘busy’ but it’ll still easily cruise at motorway speeds, though first gear is really a bit low (with a type 9 from a 4 cyl car, not the more desirable ratios 2.8 V6 version)

      @@emmajnation-emma I'm not sure which engine my type 9 is from. Next time I have it on a ramp il have a look as i always found 1st a bit long before the diff change
