Did you change the gears because the old ones broke?
I was looking at this for a while, if my transmission breaks these gears are going in. Unless it breaks though I probably won't spend the money. I have just moved into STX class for autocross and so far it is treating me well
I think I am going to try and stay there as long as I can.
Also, not being able to go into first gear doesn't bother me as much anymore, I am slowly learning the art of heel-toe downshifting. I even managed to get it into first at about 15-20 mph on the autocross track over the weekend.
How is 5th gear on the highway? One of the biggest reservations I had about this gearset is that 5th gear seemed too short. What rpms are you at for 80 mph? Is there any way to get the RA 1st - 4th gears but keep the stock 5th gear ratio? Do they just repace the gears, or is it everything, gears, synchros, bearings etc?
Did you end up going to MPJ performance? I remember you mentioned them when we were talking about this. What did they charge to install everything, and how long did it take?
I think that if my transmission holds up I will sell my car next year and look for an STi. If it breaks and I am forced to spend the money to fix it then I will probably keep my car for another year to get my money's worth out of it.
Next time you are out here I will have to check out the car!
