[Roadsters] 5 speed tranny - good news/bad news

[peter harrison]

Good News
It is IN!!!!!! - smooth and indeed I often forget to shift from 4 to 5 - 
have to be careful when downshifting - have heard a few protests from 
reverse <G>

Bad News
Tested the car at my smog guys place and am only getting 43/44 mph @ 2000 
rpm. Problem is the 14 inch panasports w/low profile tyres - still it is 
certainly an improvement - but not as dramatic as I had hoped - 'splains my 
somewhat low mpg tho'

Could someone out there with stock wheels/tires let me know what the full 
diameter(including tires)  is - just want to do the calculations for the 
heck of it.
