Close ratio final drive 5,0:1 (2ZZ/C64) *new Version*
Short ratio / final drive for Lotus Elise Mk2 and Exige Mk2
2ZZ-Powertrain with C64-Gearbox
In order to improve the originally fairly long ratio of the final drive of the Elise 111R/Exige MK 2 and therefore achieve a more dynamic performance, we have developed a new final drive with a ratio of 5,0:1 (Original 4.63:1). The gear ratio is shortened and the agility of the car is improved considerably. Due to the slightly higher tooth clearance it is possible that the gear box is marginally noisier than the original. In order to get these fact better we redeveloped the parts on higher quality standard and get a really nice and well-working result!
The gear box has to be dismantelled and opened. A gear diagram is attached for illustrative purposes.
