Found site thanks, my question is this a 98 Spec R gearing are 4:785 final drive vs 91 SiR 4:266 0 final drive. Also, really don't see the close similarity as people speak of the B16A1 gearing to the Type R. My, question is let's compare a B16A1 final drive 4:266 vs 98 Type R final drive 4:40. Does that mean at say 80 mph with B16 rpm is at 4K oppose to Type R at same speed rpm is higher or lower. That's one main thing not too familiar with & I've had plenty of cars.

So you say shorter final drive mean higher rpm's for highway cruising. That's what get me because the type r's final drive is 4:785 & 4:40 vs 4:266 in SiR. You would think the SiR would have a smaller final drive being 4:266 is smaller than the other 2. So at 80 in 5th gear what would the type r rpm's be ex: 5K rpm's @ 80 mph. thanks

hey gingas, it has something to do with bicycle gears. HAha. I have read a bunch of final gear explanations and I remain confused.
I studied intro to accounting a long time ago. I had a professor with a thick accent. To this day I beleive he said that debits add money and credits subtract money. So, if your account was credited with $100 that means you lost or spent money?? I guess if the gear ratio is 4.2 that means it is taller than a gear ratio of 4.7. And if the 4.2 is taller it doesn't spin as fast??
I think the 4.2 gear is being credited with $100. Which means 4.2 payed off a debt owed to someone. Maybe the local voodoo tech that came up with the system that indicates the shorter number (4.2) has the taller value????? HA.
