I will be having the engine replaced on my Mini fairly soon with the Minispares 1293 (ENG004) I will having the gearbox/final drive replaced at the same time with the Minispares MSG34 which has the same final drive ratio (3.44:1) as my current gearbox.
Grateful for views/experience on whether the 3.44 final drive is the best one to use, the car is not my daily driver and I would like to be able to cruise at 65-70MPH without the engine screaming its nuts off. The wheels are 5J x 12 fitted with 165/70 x 12 tyres.
I have had a look on the guessworks website but would welcome recommendations on the best balance.
Thanks
