aaronblue Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 As per title i am in need of a diff for my 100e, running a st170 zetec with rx8 6 speed box on 13" rims, I have been told 3:54 is ideal but what else is out there please? cheers Aaron
katana Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Not gonna try and talk you out of your choices but I believe the RX8 box has a lower first gear than a std Ford box and with 50 profile tyres will make first gear virtually redundant but 2nd will make a nice tall 'first'. A 3.89 diff wouldn't help this situation but if you like towing caravans then you'll be sorted LOL!
mk1del Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 Good diff also 3.77 ,I bought a good 3.54 of g's escorts at Santa pod, classic ford show, he did have a 3.77 and a 3.89 for sale Give him a call

anglia58 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Posted June 21, 2017 hi, buy a 3.54, lets say you drive 70 with 4000 rpm's, with a 3.9, if you do that with a 3.77, you drive 70 with 3870 rpm's, do that with a 3.54 you drive with 3540 rpm's, the 3.77 is just as expensive as a 3.54, and it doesn't drive as good, cheers marcel
