i'm getting a ppg straight cut syncro box
par was cheaper (probably $1000-$1500 cheaper) but i decided to go with ppg anyway. ppg box also includes upgraded 3rd/4th selector fork.
i still haven't got the box back yet
cos ppg have had a massive backlog of work to get done apparently. i will be fairly annoyed if i dont have it back by around may 13 etc cos i'd like to put it back in that weekend.
the gearset is the gtir gearset which appears to be identical. however as the box builder is yet to receive the gearset, he cannot be 100% sure yet. both ppg and the builder however believe it's identical going from photos of internals.
i have to admit i was awefully tempted to throw a 2nd hand box in and just sell the car off, but upon thinking of another type of car to buy, nothing really apealed to me.
