close ratios for AE86 - XXX @ Alvin

[Acoustic]

The issues which I took into accounts are: -

1) Sepang track
2) 8,000 rpm limit
3) top speed limit between 180 to 200mph on 5th gear
4) tyres diameter standard & unchanged

I think that's all, but there's still other bits, but not directly engineering related, so not easy for me to explain.

I suppose the other things I considered were: -

1) seen Alvin @ XXX drive in Sepang in his track AE86 - 16v
2) driven in sepang with my own KE70 - 20v
3) tried another AE86 briefly somewhere else, knows it's power and response - 16v
4) experience with my own 20v power, acceleration, rev drop etc
