I would be interested as am intending to buy!! :dance:

 

Stuart :)

im up for that deffo ..........

does 'lower' gearing mean higher top end and slower acceleration or is it the other way round?

Faster acceleration and lower top speed :cool:

Faster acceleration and lower top speed :cool:

 

decreased torque?

decreased torque?

increase

damn you James Funge for coming up with such a great idea!

increase

As he says increased Torque/Power to the wheels :p

Think my auto box was built from a leader blueprint, and its awesome, rated for 216 mph ;)

by how much do you reckon?

Cool so far

I will enquire and get back to you

Does anyone know of a specialist who will be able to fit the ring & pinion set?

I will be needing that too lol

I have emailed them and awaiting a response

Leader gears do not increase power to the wheels, but concentrate the power so that it decreases the final top end speed but increases the speed at which you get to it.

 

It's like selecting a smaller gear on your bike, enablening you to build up speed quicker but restricting your top end slightly.

 

I love the 4.1 gear ratio, in my opinion it transforms the car from a grand tourer to a sports car!

Mark how would top end (speed) compare Manual gearbox to Auto? as i know the Auto can theoretically obtain a higher speed:)

theoretical speed at 7000rpm with std wheel tyre with leader gears ring/pinion fitted

Auto = 180.63 mph

manual = 182.46

This is with 4.08??

I have looked at this but its the special tools/items for setting the pinion hight that i dont have. Still trying to figure how to get round the items needed that the manual recomends.

Are you talking about the dial gauges?

This is with 4.08??

 

No with 4:10 which is the leader gears ratio

Its the dummy shaft, bearing spacer, side bearing adaptor and the adapter shaft page PD-21 in the manual.
