<DIV>...I had this combination in my BN1 based Ward Special coupe. Great on the
highway (2300 at 100kph with Kumho 185/80R15s) but a pig on hill starts! Once I
unblocked the A90 first gear it was fine.</DIV>

<DIV>Bob,</DIV>

<DIV>I had this arrangement for about 30K miles. The OD was built by ORS
in England with the 128% OD and a 1 ¾” accumulator. With 165R15
Vredesteins 70 MPH was 2,700 RPM. Last year the OD started acting
up. This was my third attempt at getting a reliable OD so I put in the
Healey 5 Speed. The proper non-turbo Supra 5 speed has a 5<FONT
size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><SUP>th</SUP></SPAN></FONT> gear ratio of
.783, which is precisely the same as the 128% OD. I now have the same high
end gearing, but with a lot more reliability. If a car is to be driven a lot and
for long tips, it is the way to go.</DIV>
