Some pics of the 5th gear change. I swapped 43x33 to 47x32 (12,7% longer), which makes 40,8 km/h at 1000 rpm (36,2 before). It really feels amazing, as if the car would need less power to roll. The engine doesn't struggle too much either : mostly highway, no big hills, never loaded... I think the engine will be able to cope with even bigger gearing (tires).
