    Rear end gear ratio's

    My understanding is that Toyota came out with different rear end gear ratio's. I have a 1989 7MGE, 5 speed transmission. When I'm on the highway going 65mph I'm clocking over 3000 RPM, going 75mph+ and my engine is really screaming 3500rpm plus, this is to much. My Lincoln Continental is...

    Engine fron JDMNEWYORK.com YAY or NAY?

    Quick opinions needed
