After reading for so many months (here and at nutz), I'd like to share something. My 5 is still at my friends workshop, waiting for the last welds to be made and getting some new paint. I was looking for parts in the meantime and couldn't decide how to change the gearbox and diff ratio. It seems I will take my 6-speed and 4.1 rear end. I've seen so many gearing calculators and some graphs, but only once somebody had a cool sawtooth graph. That' what I wanted to play with! After some fiddling this is the result: It uses some VBA-Code to get a little "automation" and switch from imperial units to metrics and make the graphs to display selectable. It's not perfect for sure, but maybe some help ... Download file here (MS Excel 2010):MX-5-Miata_Gearing-Speed-Rev-Chart.xlsm 47kB mega.nz/#!CgZEiaYJ!oxFCillDbTUGWpqGQJi2-_mEycQNwz20DEdnMFvc1mk

So as my 1.6 turbo mk1 doesnt quite get to 60 in 2nd gear i will assume tjat i have a 4.1 diff ratio. Though accordinf to the graph i should be hitting 132 at 6500 rpm.......i wish. At 100mph i am at 5000 but at 130 ish im touching 7500 so cant comfortably cruise. What wheel size/tyre combo are these figures based on and what can i do to reduce my revs at higher speeds, short of fitting an overdrive box? Currently on 15" with 50 profiles. Advice and solutions welcomed

I've been meaning to make a speed calculator sheet for some time now . I have a couple of job interviews to prep for this week, but maybe next week I'll cobble something together.

The K-Miata one is perfect, but It's nice to see 2 or 3 results on the same page. I don't think it would take too long to knock it up in Excel.
