F15 from a Corsa or F13 from a GTE with Your Sport final drive(Should be 4.18:1)

why's that?
is it because the the f15 is like the big blocks boxes where the pinion is cast on the shaft and not removable like the small boxes?

F15 is a small block box, but it is something to do the final drive(pinion etc) being permanently fixed or something, so you cant change it.

how do you actually change the final drive?

you'd just be best off using the f13CR cluster and 4.18 FD, everyone here agree's its the most fun, and its not terribly low, nothing like a forestry 5.3 cwp lol so without going into ratios and speeds and that, you'll have some top end speed and it will be nippy to drive.

Read my post buddy, I said F15 OR F13 with F10 4.18:1 final drive which equals the same ratios iirc (F15 = F13+F10 FD)

depends on the F15 in question ;)

CR F15's are near as damn it the same as the F13CR. the WR on the otehr hand is different but not by a huge margin though
