Subject: 4.56s going in on Tuesday!
IP: Logged

Message:
I am having my 4.56s installed next Tuesday. I have been waiting a while to get these installed. I bought an RX-7, so I didn't have the money to get the install. Now I do.

In addition, in another couple weeks I am getting R/T rims and new tires too.

It's going to be a little more fun driving around the streets of Spokane, lol.

Yeah, first gear probably wont be needed much on the street anymore, but 2nd and 3rd will be a whole lot more fun. At least my stock tires are 29" right now. When I go to the R/T wheele I'll probably be running 26" or 27" though.

With your 4.56 gears I wouldn't get that low of a tire ratio, get some 275/50/17 and have a nice 28" tire combo.

Any lower and you will be buzzing down the highway.

I want to go to 27" at the least, but I'd prefer a shorter sidewall. I can't keep at 29", it rubs too much on the Hotchkis drop (driver front).

Crusing down the highway at 3-3.25K isn't too bad. I mean, I wont be able to take trips at 90mph constant, but I shouldn't be doing that anyways.

I am going to be running 25.7" Dunlop SP8000 tires now on R/T rims. No first gear at all now, but I am keeping my current tires for trips, hauling, and when the weather turns to sh1t, but not time for the snows yet.

Between all the vehicles at my house, we have a warehouse of tires in my garage.

Sorry kicker. I've had dibs on xplikt's 3.92 gears for a couple months. But, if the world collides and I don't end up getting them (highly unlikely, but you never know), I'd drop him an email to be 1st runner-up.

Btw xplikt, did you get them changed out yesterday?

Nope, the shop /forgot/ to take my name down and didn't have me scheduled in, but knew I was to come in sometime that week. Jeeez. I am getting them changed Friday.
