And then use the xB1's transmission, which has a final drive ratio of 4.31 vice the Yaris' 3.72. The gear ratio for 1st to 5th and reverse are all the same.

There's some restrictions on internals and compression ratios that I haven't delved too deeply into, mostly because that's outside the scope of the build for now. It has a C60 gearbox in it now, not sure what final drive offhand. My DD hatch has the 4.3 final drive in it (and a custom configuration of OEM gear sets) and it's a real detriment on long tracks because I lose a LOT of top end speed.

Wait, wasn't this thread about someone else's car? =P
