Simple question, what is the final drive for an Aussie delivered NB8A?
I looked on Miata net and it said 4.1
I just want to check that 4.1 is correct and Miata.net weren't referring to a USA version with a different ratio.
Thanks.

AFAIK all manuals have 4.1, including 10AE; and autos have 4.3

Aussie 10AE's and Roadster RS's from japan got 3.9:1. All aussie NB8A's are 4.1 and 8B/8C are 3.606:1. I think the Americans just got 4.1's with the 6 speed too which is why they had faster 0-100 times.
