Hi everyone,

I have a Fiat Coupe 1.8 16v and using it for trackdays.
I would like some shorter gears.
Does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Miguel

I would look at changing the final drive ratios over changing the gears.

Thank you for answering.

I heard that the final drive from an Alfa 147 1.6 shorter is and would fit?
