Bad Bish, the next generation-introducing the clutchless 4 speed.
"?
I understood from Aaron that the output shaft and diff gear from the gearbox you are using wouldn't fit in my box either, as that was the first question I asked him when I heard the ratio was 4.11. I had talked about making a custom shaft and gear to change to 4.11 for my box because of this.
I have had custom brake pads made just for the EVO stock brakes, front and rear, they are a very low heat pad and designed just for this type of brake boosting and stopping on a cold pad. I haven't installed them yet, so I after seeing the Hawks hold with a little heat in them from the drive I am hopeful these other custom pads will do even better.
Not sure how many of you went and looked at the twisted broken shaft but it's nuts how far it twisted.
Aaron is working with someone to make new output shafts and I have a good contact too. We will see who can get it done first.
Tomorrow we are going to tear the trans apart and inspect it, see if we can see anything else that may have been going, look at the frictions see if they seem to be holding and take a look at the custom parts we built and make sure they look good. I was hoping for 40 hard passes before we looked but, it is what it is.

I don't know if I can get some of the details you want, but will try.
No, the final drive in a GTA is 3.3, same as my Airtrek from what I understand. I did up a FD chart with ratios and that basically confirmed the 3.3 ratio.
I'd also like to point out that I've been trolling through Japanese car auctions for part of the day and think I'm going to have to get myself a Evo GTA, which I could get landed in NZ for as little as US$6-7000 on the road. So much for waiting a year before I get a car to race!!! Dam you

Stock converter chews another 13%. You wont be dyno queening the autos. What it loses in the converter only reflects in mph but not e.t. For reference Jeff's car drops from 1030whp to 802whp going from a manual to a REALLY LOOSE billet converter. It still runs 8.42@164 at 42psi though.
