Ok guys, I have some questions concerning transmission swaps in VXs... First off, other than RPM testing, is there any way to visually identify that I have a VX tranny?

The reason I ask is above. I hear all different opinions on where the tach should be at Xmph... I just bought a VX that has HX rims with 185 tires. At 70mph I am above 2000RPM... And with bigger tires I should be slightly below, correct?
"check the engine rpm at 100 km h it should be 1900 rpm in fifth gear
if rpm is 2400 you got a tranny from civic 96-2000 hb
if rpm is 2700 you got a dx 92-95
if rpm is 2900 you got a si tranny"
Read that on another thread. I'll use my GPS unit to verify accurate speed and see what I get at 60 and 70 mph...
Question:" My 185 tires are 10.8% larger than the VX 165s. Does this mean my RPMs for a given speed should be about 11% lower than normal?
Thanks for the help.
