Update: Tires purchased: Michelin Defender 175/70/14.
Transmission purchased: 92 CX 5mt.
With how much money I just spend I'm ready to start seeing returns! Haha. Since I I'm not going to track one down and turn this into a day trip I went ahead and bought the trans off ebay since they had an ebay motors coupon, and the tires had a mail in rebate I figure now would be the time to buy. Especially for the summer xommute being so long i'd see the fastest gains right now. So saved 10% off the pair. Now just to sell my 13 inch wheel set and the LX/DX trans.

Going from 2960rpm @ 70mph to 2270rpm @70. Then upgrading to LRR tires as well. Excited to see the improvements!
