And the very first production R3 came from the factory with a 4:55 TT rear axle ratio. Within a couple of months after it was sold, the first owner replaced the high numerical ratio with something less, I believe it was 3:73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64studeavanti Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 In 64 R1/R2, the "standard" axle ratio was 3.54. Does any know if the same is true for R3s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
