The girls at the club tend to come and go. We are what they call "in season" now so business tends to pick up more, and the girls come out of the woodwork. The pictures I have are from the old club I worked at during pimp and ho night. Most (99%) of all the clubs in FL will not let you take pictures while in the establihment so it is rare you will see pictures ever come out of one.

IT was a special occasion and I Was staff.

When I took the pics my digital cam's flash crapped out so I had to use the 35mm. I need to get the film developed and put on disk so I can share it with the world.

Last time I checked there is a hurricane coming for my town so it might be a while. It's worth the wait...trust me.

Hehe, yeah, that was kind of an inside joke... I didn't know if anyone would get that part.

We don't just have a cardiac center. We have the number one cardiac center in the country, and perhaps the world. And they're building a new heart center to take it to a whole new level.

...and there's a McDonald's in the food court.

Nah it's real chicken stock. It's just beak, liver, intestines (chicken chitterlings), feet, feathers, and farts.

Had some interesting jobs: Surveying for the Dept of Highways in the
boonies of Southern B.C... Hardrock mineral exploration in the barren
lands of the Northwest Territories and in the mountains of Northern BC
and the Yukon.

Turned down a job to jack hammer cement stuck to the inside of the drum of a cement truck.

The rest has been in the investment business.

I service, fix, modify and occasionally break subarus. Haven't broken anything recently though, I'm slacking.

Sometimes I go to school.

Phil, I've got a question for ya. Does PPG offer any custom gear ratios? What's an average price of what those run compared to a similar set of their standard ratios?

Hardy - Yea, they will do custom ratios. It's expensive. Very expensive. Expect almost double the cost.

Is there a reason you want custom ratios? What do you want to be different from the standard ratios?

I can get you a quote on custom ratios, if you give me the specifics. PM me with the gear ratios you want, the engagement and cut style (straight or helical, dog or synchro), and I can get you a price.

I personally like the ratios of the 98-01 RS transmission. The other transmissions feel like there's too much time spent in each gear, also they feel like they are made for a stock weighted flywheel. RS ratios with a light flywheel feel perfect for my speed of shifting.

I suppose the standard 2-5 ratios aren't that bad, but 1st gear sounds like it'd be quite a change. I guess I'd like 3.545/2.111/1.448/1.088/.780

If you could though, could you also inquiry a set of 3.545/2.333/1.750/1.354/.871

I'm sure I want 1-4 straight cut, maybe 5 straight cut but I may want that helical. Fairly sure I want synchro engagement.

Or how much would a 3.545 or 3.454 1st cost in addition to the standard set?

I was offered a job at www.rachels.com so I might be making the switch. It's down the street from club cheetah and it's more money. IT's also a classier place.

When trying to go really fast with a manual transmission, the longer you are in gear, the longer you are on boost. If 1/4 mile is your jam, you want to finish in 3rd, not 4th... unless you plan on topping out 4th. That's why the ratios seem longer than most. The biggest problem with a built tranny, it trying to use it when you can't take advantage of it. With good power, you can use the long gears to your advantage in keeping momentum while driving and helping to smooth out your motions through the turns (less shifting before during and after turns, just keep it in gear from entry to exit). Almost every car I've driven with a built box, has had enough power to sweep through every gear faster than stock power through stock gearing.
I suppose the standard 2-5 ratios aren't that bad, but 1st gear sounds like it'd be quite a change. I guess I'd like 3.545/2.111/1.448/1.088/.780
1st gear is to short, with big turbos, you can't build any reasonable boost in 1st without it being longer. Going from stock to PPG straight cut synchro, my friend Jay's car had time to make full boost in 1st gear before shifting. It made a noticeable improvement. The longer your on boost, the more your accelerating, right?
If you could though, could you also inquiry a set of 3.545/2.333/1.750/1.354/.871
Sounds kind of similar to the KAAZ gearset. I don't have those ratios in front of me, I can get them for you tomorrow. At 80mph, you are cruising at 5,000 RPM (5th is .9xx), and max speed is like 120 at 7k. Probably annoying. I think their 1st gear is something like 3.875 or something like that. There isn't ANY reason to need gearing that low.. unless you want to look like a dyno pimp.
I'm sure I want 1-4 straight cut, maybe 5 straight cut but I may want that helical. Fairly sure I want synchro engagement.
5th gear isn't available, you should just leave that stock like almost everyone does. There is no reason to have a beefier 5th gear... unless you plan on surpassing 140-ish miles per hour.

Straight cut is annoyingly loud. Helical (synchro) is barely louder than stock, but about 25% weaker than the Straight cut gears. Dog engagement is harsh, uncomfortable, and not really recomended for a non-track car.
Or how much would a 3.545 or 3.454 1st cost in addition to the standard set?
Can't really do that. 1st, 2nd, and Reverse are machined onto the input shaft, just like stock. So you couldn't pop the gear out and swap it at your liesure. Your pretty much stuck with what you get.

I'd say a conservative guess on price for JUST gears, would be in the $7,000 to $10,000 range for custom ratios. It's not an easy task to install these gears, either. That's why some of the fastest Subaru's in the country are sending their transmissions to us to be built. No one can do it better.

T-Rex Motorsports is running a full PPG straight cut dog box with a PPG Helical front diff in their soon-to-be 800hp WRX, built by us. Element Tuning is running a similar transmission built by us. Turbo XS had all of their dog boxes built by us.
