Special Projects Motor Sports, who brought you the popular 4.9 & 4.7 ratio final drives for the ’88-’91 Cable trans CRX/ Civic, is pleased to announce that we have once again come to an exclusive arrangement with SRR (Super Road Racing) who, in future will be manufacturing a range of Honda Final Drive Ratios to our specifications.
Special Projects recently obtained the services of a top US metallurgist and destructive engineer to test several failed Aftermarket Final Drives for Honda's. His recommendations, as well as the feedback of many of our competing, road racing customers, lead us to believe we now have the solution to many of the catastrophic Gearbox failures suffered by Racers using aftermarket final drives sold in the past by SRR, and other overseas manufacturers who until now, have all been using the same machining technique.
Working closely with SRR in Taiwan we now have gears manufactured to our own specifications.
We are pleased to announce that despite the extra cost of the new machining process and the increase in life expectancy of these gears, we are still able to offer extremely competitive pricing at $510.00 per set, plus shipping. (Sales tax will apply to goods sold in California).
The Final Drives will be available for CRX/Civic ’88-’91 Cable Clutch Trans- 4.7 & 4.9 Ratios
Civic SOHC ’92-’00 Hydraulic Clutch 4.7 & 4.9. We expect our first shipment before the end of May 2006. This will be followed by a shipment of 4.7 & 4.9 ratios for B18C and B16A Honda’s
Introduction Special…The first shipment of ’88-’91CRX/Civic and ’92 up SOHC Civic 4.7 & 4.9 ratios will be at the old price of $485.00 + $12.00 S&H While Stocks last! (Sales tax will apply to goods sold in California)

No, you dont want one of those.

Would you care to elaborate on the failures of past SRR products?
I have a 4.9FD for my CRX from Special Projects Motorsports that has yet to be used. It's installed, but waiting for the first race weekend of the season.
Is it going to break?

Hopefully not John,
However there is no doubt that the machining proccess used by all of the aftermarket Final Drive Manufacturers that I have seen, all seem to result in the same kind of failure eventually after hard use...
Look at <U>ANY</U> Aftermarket Honda Final drive of 4.7 or 4.9 ratio. by any manufacturer. They all machine the pinion gear shaft the same way, which continues the gear cut across the 1st gear needle bearing surface, reducing the bearing surface by at least half? Thus when the needle bearing fails the particals are forced along the grooves into the Final Drive Ring gear usually resulting in broken Ring Gear teeth or worse.
The new machining process we have insisted on, is not Rocket Science... It just takes a little longer to set up, and longer to machine, The final product looks exactly like stock. We believe the results will be longer life expectancy from the final drive.
John, If you havent used yours yet? PM me and I may be able to help you out.
