Default PPG

Just got my car back from Zen having had the PPG Straight cut fitted with billet selector fork. Just need to say if anyone is thinking about it just get it
The whine is loud but sounds .
The gear selection is very nice during positive shifts and not notchy during normal driving. I had RA ratios before and the difference in ratios is not really noticeable, it seems even better now as the relentless acceleration lasts for longer in each gear...

Next stop Santa Pod

Big Thanks to Paul and the team at Zen.
If you're thinking about a PPG contact him and he will advise what is best and build/set it up to perfection.

the loudness of the whine adds to the raw rally experiance of owning a subaru, especially as urs is a RA it all adds to the driving experiance...

i've had mine for about 2 months now, and tbh if your doing longish runs (other than in 5th, its a normal uk 5th in mine) you actually start to tune out and not notice it

It's not really that audible over the radio and the Blitz, but just roll the window down and hear that PPG whine

It makes the car sound like it's a clapped out shed ....................... anyone who thinks it sounds cool needs their bumps felt.

Why the hell would you enjoy a gearbox whine, bit sad if you ask me

Unless you are running about 500+bhp is there any need, im running 400bhp through my newage sti and 6 speed box with no probs???

The six speed is a cheaper option for the classic, however the ratios are shorter than the PPG, and it weighs slightly more. The six speed can handle the power, but it just depends on your driving style and what could possibly suit it.
