That is very possible mate!
I was told the Final drive is from an XR2, and it is much longer than a normal RST box thats for sure, also I am hitting the speeds in the lower gears that my ratio's, final drive, tyre size, and rpm, say that I should do.... so I can only assume that it is correct for 4th and 5th too?!
I'll probably never run this FD again (as it is a bit long really) but I'll get some video of the Tacho and Speedo and data logs when my next box is in and see what everyone thinks.
But whatever happens I am hitting 6000rpm in 5th and whatever my gear ratios are, with 205/45/17's that is going to be some speed!! lol
