I have placed an add in the parts wanted,for some f@#d 9 inch gears.
the fk is running 4.56 ratio at the moment which is fine for the strip but i want to drive her a bit more on the road now.
So i am after some 3.7 or 3.5 gears if anyone some.

4.56? :shock: :shock:

You'd be redlining in top gear by about the 200 metre mark :mrgreen:

Next job was to get the exhaust out the back, also the exhaust was to close to the handbrake cable so I thought I would make a new one
