S2000 guys have been paying huge $ for stock Kia Sportage 4.77 gears for a while...But luckily that big s2000 market means a new part for FB's and 1.8 miatas.

 

I was unaware that s2000 gear set worked on our cars. Good info. My 4.88:1 set was less than $300 from Mazdacomp IIRC though.

 

I think the 4.57's will be available cheaper as other suppliers pick them up.

I'm still undecided myself. 4.88's are priced well, 4.77's from a wrecker would be even better. However, I'm confident that if I cryo treated the 4.57's and put them with a Torsen, I would never break anything in there.

 

im gonna have to hit the junk yard soon. hehe
have you guys got your gear sets yet ?
if so how's the take off now

 

so are they interchangable for sure, anyone verify that? carl, do they have a website or number i could call, under $300 for one would be incredible

 

well i know the kia fits fb's and if they're putting the sportage gears in their cars then their stuff must fit ours....

 

for those who dont know are we talking about using these kia gearsets on fb limited slip rears or using a miata torsen rear with these gearsets and installing it in the fb? im confused or is there an entire kia internal or axle swap ive heard things about miata torsen and kia parts being used but was curios to the exact setup you plan on using?
thanks

 

just the ring and pinion on the FB LSD...

 

OMG..........why did I never hear of this before!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the salvage yards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
onward hoe!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I want a set of 4.88's!

Thanks, Ed
