Speed sensor could be off the front wheels, the 86 to me looks like it has some sort of ABS/non locking brake setup (my partners current lancer has something similar, stops pretty good actually) and id dare say it would have a sensor of some sort back to the ecu then off too the cluster.
Could probably tell by watching 1 of the drift vid's the speedo doesnt bounce up and down with revs compared to g/box/diff driven speedo. Or maybe it does but i couldn't see that it does.
Also regarding ratios, i doubt we would have any trouble with stock fitment. 6sp would already have a better ratio then we had before and only serious track/racer type would have a purpose for different ratios.
Would ratio matter, well to some it may, at least a lower diff ratio, but then your MPG goes out the window.
I honestly think other then cams and a ecu tweak (along with intake and exhaust, which is almost a given) there wont be much needed done to this car.
It already appears to have light weight (well lighter then the usual) equipment like flywheel, crank etc etc.
The $$ spent vs gains will be terrible compared to the 4age, i mean i cant see any reason why lighter flywheels, ground down crank, lighter pistons etc will have any marginal effect for majority of people. Serious track/racer will see results but the the average Joe Blow it will be a expensive and fruitless exercise.
