Yesterday I sold my lovely Honda Accord Type R and bought this !!

.....am I mad?!

I didn't even really mean too, just an eBay bid I forgot I placed...!?!?!

anyway..What shall I do to it first?
I'd like to make it into a little monster but keep reading things about difficulties of putting massive wheels on because the gearbox can't handle it? Can someone explain?

Roll safe

any tyres much larger than standard will affect the gearing. a modified transfer box can be put on to accommodate the change in gearing meaning you can run BIG tyres. the jimny will have to be lifted substantially too to accommodate the tyres. and welcome to the mad community :)
standard jimny - for now

Welcome along.

No more 5th gear synchro problems for you then or did you get lucky with your Accord Type R? My mate had his fixed twice I think.

I hope you enjoy going much slower in your Jimjam!

They are fun little things!
