Gearing Up for Gears
I'm about to start gathering together the bits to carry out the final drive mod to my 'S', hopefully later this year.
I've read PL's post and many others on the site but am still hoping to get some more info.
I realise I can order everything I need from Riks including a 4.57 Richmond gear, yellow jacket etc with a total cost of about

Stocky who I believe supplied the gears to some of you chaps on here
Also does the gear need to be treated?
In fact any further advice, parts for sale, avoidance of pitfalls etc etc would be more than welcome.
You will almost certainly need to buy a spacer from a Honda dealer for building your gear. This doesn't come with the fitting kit as I believe it depends on the gear.
Get some spare diff bolts for fitting the new diff. It is common for these to break in the process. I bought 3 and 2 got broken.

Get the gear from Stocky (he can order them from his Kia dealer) I will be getting one too.
Yellow Jacket from Modifry
Diff from a breaker (or there is one on the FS forum right now)
Craig had his gear cyrogenically (sp??) treated, although it isn't necessary in all cases.
www.gearboxman.co.uk can do the work for about 200 notes

Very nice, should be a treat with the exhaust, manifold and gears.
I can dig up some info, i got alot of bits from honda UK. Craig is correct, the ricks kit doesnt come with the correct spacer IIRC its too small! the honda one was
