Re: zc trans question (messeduprex)
You CAN use your stock DX/Si axles and do away with the intermediate shaft, if you swap the ZC transmission's differential unit. I recommend swapping in an Si diff/final; it's got a more aggressive final drive ratio (4.250:1, versus the ZC's 3.88:1).
What I'm running in my '91 "DX/Si" (DX chassis, Si engine and interior):
ZC 1-4 gears
HF 5th gear
Si final/diff
It's all packed into your basic Si transmission case (pretty much any '88-'91 L3 tranny case will work), and it uses off-the-shelf Si axles. It accelerates a fair bit better than a stock Si.
