So serious discussion.

I am considering this set, but want to know who is manufacturing it and what sort of support/warranty are they going to offer? Will they also throw this in a case for a core swap, or something like that?

Custom ratios would be ideal, I'd like to see a longer first gear and shorter 6th gear. What's everyone else's opinion on the gearing?

I really like this support,
Unfortunately because you are not an authorized vendor paying FT86 and advertising they will probably ban your account.

They won't tell you, there isn't any, no and the stock gearing is fine its the fd that's wrong for a turbo car.

A steeper FD wouldn't really help with how short first gear is. It would help with 6th gear being as long as it is.

I like 6th. 70mph at full boost is fine.

Alright, back at it. Got some details worked out

The manufacturer is PAR Engineering.

Just ordered up my set for the RevvProjectBRZ. Super stoked to see how this turns out. For those of you on the fence, we will certainly be doing a huge writeup about the install / drivability / strength etc similar to all the other articles we've done. So I'll def keep the community in the loop!

Just really hope that this set holds the power! And from what I'm being told, there won't be any issues. "800 hp is ok. Remember its synchro, so must shift like a human and not a barbarian."

1-4 straight with 5 and 6 helical and dog engagement and you've got a deal.

Awesome, PAR Engineering is only a few miles from where I am staying when I visit the UK in 3 weeks. Guess who is stopping by to find out more?

This may be the wrong PAR Engineering. Dang it, I was excited for a minute.

Haha so you want the benefits of straight cut where it matters and the benefits of cruising around all silent like?? I like the way you think
