As long as you realise extra 30+% in gearing means extra 30+% in revs means probably 30+% in fuel
means speedo will be out by 30+% means wheels will spin easier means car will spin out easier in the wet means coppers will hear you before they see you, means more revenue to govco
and so the list goes on

but hey, we've all done it.

Sounds like a ton of fun,
But, financially, and time, is it worth it,
You will need to update PPK so the Speedo will read correctly.

IHO, the way Petrol prices are,
If it any broke, don’t fix it.

It’s stuffed and need a rebuild. I’m putting a TrueTrac in as well.
