there is the video on youtube of when he went airbourne and smashes the white car up ....big smash. I found out where and who the guy is and he has an interesting history with the gtir, and the green car is very very trick, i suspect the vid's are of the first shakedown runs as it is the end of the season.

just start saving stu, i have 1st to 4 th which i'll do for alot lot less than the £5400 ppg want with either a standard 5th or a brace. and if you get an ignition kill kit i can show you what to get made for a flat shift on the dog box.
Your looking at quaife money

Dog box is best for racing full stop stu , faster gearchange, no syncros to break, stronger internals, and you can crash to 1st with out fucking the box at 30mph for slow corners. 90 miles a year............you do less than me!lol

Ok cheers,
Think last year i did 65 miles ;-) hard miles!!
What would be best for 5th gear? never use it on track, only on the road. is the brace better? does it make it stronger?

Ps if you want to make them ridiculoseley strong just fit a s/c ppg final drive (which can be made in lower ratio at request)...........but the final alone is £1200.
ppg stuff is good but expensive, if you add my box up (which is syncro s/c) its £5400 for 1st -4th, £500 for 5th, £400 for billet syncro hubs, £400 for billet selectors, £1200 for the final drive, plus cryo the cases,new bearings and building it, and then duty on import.
for what i am offering is the best compromise for your use.

the brace is to stop the shafts seperating and breaking the end case on launch, version 2 is in process to allow you to keep 5th. and the standard 5th is fine for road use as long as you go easy on it
