I'm a happy with the ride height, I think any lower will be too stiff.

So here are the differences between the F17 and F13 other than the ratios:
No speedo drive
No clutch arm
No output shaft seal (its built into the hydraulic release bearing).
I've got an F13 box I'm going to pilfer the speedo drive, output shaft seal cover and clutch arm from. I've also ordered up a gasket set so hopefully will have an F17 box ready to fit

just swap 5th gear, it takes 30mins!

We had three runs.. Why do you have such a problem with me? The Corsa absoloutely destroys new shape Civic TypeR's off the line I knew it would be close on the Integra as it weighs less than a tonne, was shocked when it was quicker.

What differences are you hoping to get with the F17?
Would you then need though diff shafts and hubs?

The splines look the same on the F17/13 diffs I've compared..
F17 should give a better top end.. 3rd and 5th are rubbish on the F13.

Gearing is awful so not sure what 1/4 is going to be like.. 0-60 might be quite good.. I've got a Racetech G meter I should really dig out and have a play with.
