Amen to that!
I converted my Alpine years ago, and since I used EVERY OE piece to do it, I
used the final drive , too. What a mistake! It gave the car a little bit
better top end, and a little bit better acceleration, but not a marked
improvement. Once I put the 3.89 back in, I was in LBC heaven...... the car
will cruise all day long at 70-75 mph, and not even breathe hard!
