there's no 100% correction for a 3.73 unless you change the drive gear also, but the white 23t will get you the close

You know me too well. That was a big concern, but fortunately I will be starting work in nyc this summer and I have been taking the train to commute so I drive the car maybe 400 miles a month if that. I can afford to play, especially if gas wants to stay as low as it is.

Anyone have a diy?
