Default 32:8, short gear box GT3 MK2

I install LKW and Im thinking of installing ring and pinion 32:8,4,0. Do you think is it a good solution?

Depends on the track. You may find that you have to shift in the middle of a fast corner or just yards before braking or change your driving style. Still, I have done the upgrade on my MK1 and I'm liking it more and more.

but the acceleration is faster, i.e. to 100 kmh or on 400 meters?

I have it on the GT3. I think for most tracks you would be better off changing the upper gears. My home track used to be gears 2 , 3, 4. Now its 3 ,4 5.
Some corners are better geared while others are worse. Net result is a wash. Do the gears. Supposedly more maintenance but the result is better.

The gear gap between 2nd and 3rd is too wide, really bad. The 3rd/4th is closer but it could be better. The 4th/5th and 5th/6th are perfect.

In my case, the RSR R&P eliminated the use of second gear on most tracks. My engine stays on the strong power band for longer.

Re-gearing is ok as long as the turns at your local tracks are above 65 mph, otherwise you will have to re-gear and install a short R&P, because the stock 2nd gear is too long (84mph).

Not sure if we are saying the same thing. I find 2nd to be too short and the gap between third is still too large. I feel that a taller 2nd is need with the new R&P.
