So I wanted to go for a test drive but ran the car out of gas. So it sits in the driveway for another day or two. Its friggin cold and might snow so I doubt I will run the car out. Wide summer tires + snow = no go, even w/ AWD.
I have been wonding about my total final drive since I have the RC final drive and I have the taller than stock tires. It makes 5th gear kind of high even for the extra power of a stock 205.
I do not plan on getting a smaller tire so I think when I do the clutch I will either do a new gearbox or lower final drive.
Someone on celicatech made this great excel form for figuring out celica ratios.

It seems that the RAV4 4.562 final drive would get my ratios closest to having a stock tire size/FD.
I will really concider this project once I decide to dive into the clutch project.
