The gaps are the same.

The gaps are the same relative to one another but they are all going to be smaller. The ratios are a percentage, basically, so you drop a percentage of rpm. with a shorter final that amount (not percentage) ends up less.

I think 1st gear on the 930 is cut on the mainshaft since 2nd is fixed on the 901/911 transaxles. So the issue is irrelevant because you do not want to pay for a different mainshaft.

About the 1st gear thing?

1st gear is fine.
Changing the FD will not make the change I need.

But I cant belive they do.

I think we are posting out of synch. I realize you like your 1st, but if you made it longer with a shorter final drive you could get closer to what you want, but since it is on the mainshaft it is smart to just wait for the other gears to get in.

For me it is (older) F1 engines. When you think of how fast those parts like valves are moving at 22,000 rpm. I am amazed that the fuel even has time to burn at those speeds!

[vas930]

Max, it would make a change.
But not the same as changing 2 3 4.
I will wait.

+1
Yes valves and cams.
The cylinder heads must have been awesome.

it is a matter of friction, really. where do you perceive the problem to be?

evening all. off to make dinner.

Looks like we are on pace to break 50,000 posts on US Saturday.

For some reason my computer has decided that it only wants to save pictures in bitmap format. Even though no images here are bitmap it saves them as bitmap. Occasionally on Early S I can get a jpeg to save.

This happened before but I can't remember what I did to fix it. I can convert the files after saving but that is a real pain.

I really hate the alarm in my 911. The thing gives me a heart attack. It's got two airhorns for the alarm itserrlf and it also triggers the normal horn. The alarm horns predate the decibel laws and are really loud. I guess I have not driven the 911 in a while and there battery is starting to go. It did not start and tripped the alarm.

[Flieger]

No alarm on mine but the normal horn is really loud. We had a friend's kid in the front seat (car parked and off) and he hit the horn button. The reaction from his Dad was great.

I feel like Jeremy Clarkson with the Merc Grosser limo getting into the horn race in the parking structure.

I have no clue what the factory alarm sounds like on the 944. I've never even messed with it. I used to leave the key to it and the wheel locks in the center console. I got rid of the AL lug nuts, and stopped carrying those keys....
