Post Does anyone else want a shorter 4th gear???

Is it me, or does our 4th gears seem pretty tall. I owned a couple H cars previously and had some really good gearing ratio which compensated for the lack of power in a really good way.

I raced my friend with a '99 Prelude, Mugen intake, headers, exhaust. We were both neck and neck until I got to 4th gear, then he started pulling away from me. I know he has a vtec but considering he was always in the vtec range in all gears, his car is definitely geared better(partly due to the 8k+ redline).

I need a WRX Tranny or need to get that turbo soon.

I agree, though I think 3rd needs to be slightly lower as well. Every time I've had a VTEC-Hcar pull away from me it has been at 65+ - just after I switched into 4th.
