Paul, Your speedo will be reading around 5% slow with the 205/65 x15 boots on. Not enough really to worry about although it does reduce the error for speed cameras, eg in 4th gear 3300 rpm is 100 kph with them but with your stock speedo drive you will be indicating 95 kph, 100 indicated is 105 kph etc. Your current speedo drive should be an alloy 6x20 (red) and if you can be bothered changing over you are looking for a 6x19 (white & common) to make the speedo fairly accurate again.
Another option is to fit 205/60x15 next time you're up for tyres and problem solved - speedo will be as accurate as you need it to be and also better handling with slightly hasher ride - they'll be a bit more exy than 65's as that's the common Falcodores size, but I'm just saying. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:membersozdat_owner@;datascribe.com.au]On Behalf Of Paul Stanley Sent: Thursday, 31 October 2002 10:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: TRX rims Terry, I don't know what ratio my diff is and I can't find my Gregorian manual. And I can't remember what colour the speedo pinion (maybe pink?) It's a 77 which came with a 4 speed manual and live axle... thats all I really know.

I could drive sideways as long as I wanted if I so pleased in 3rd gear (never tried 4th). I have since curbed my foolish ways (now I spin the 15" tyres) From: Paul Stanley [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:33 PM Subject: RE: TRX rims > Paul, > > My guess is "yes" - getting a bit late tonight, so I'll work it out for you > exactly tomorrow evening. > > Just checking what you've got (correct if I'm wrong) > > 200B, 3.9 diff, 205/65x15 tyres. > > I don't suppose you know exactly the ratio (or colour) of your speedo > pinion - doesn't matter if you don't know, it's just handy to know. > > For 200B I have standard tyre size listed as 165SR14 (geeze, they'd be fun > to drive in the wet with) and SX had 185/70x14, less than 1% overall between > these sizes so I can use either as the base line. > > regards > Terry --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@;datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
