In appreciation of our NASIOC Mid-Atlantic Subaru Family, we've decided to have a raffle.

But what kind of raffle could we have that would be totally unique, and ultimately hook up one lucky Mid-A WRX owner?

Why a PPG raffle, of course!

That's right folks! We will be raffling off a fully built and installed PPG 1-4 Helical Synchronized Transmission! Strong enough not to worry about breakage, quiet enough to not upset the spouse. The perfect transmission!

Here is the situation: We will be selling 43 (forty-three) tickets. The contest will continue until the 43rd entry is received. After all checks are processed and all entrants are notified, a non-associated third party will draw a random name out of a hat. That person will receive a built transmission installed in their car.

What you need to do:

Fill out the attached sheet and mail it to us with your entry fee of $100USD. That's it. Upon receipt of your entry, it will be numbered and filed away with the rest of the contestants. An e-mail will be sent to confirm receipt of your entry.

Entries recieved after the 43rd will be numbered in order of receipt in case of drop-out entries. Once all 43 entries are processed, remaining entries will be returned to sender.

All 43 entrants will be e-mailed with notification of their receipt of entry and listed in this thread. If you don't hear from us, you aren't one of the top 43 and we will return your envelope after the winner is announced.

Mail all entries to:

PPG CONTEST
7615-E Rickenbacker Dr.
Gaithersburg, MD 20879

Once the entry form is posted in this thread is the official start date of the contest.

Kind regards, mates!

:lol:

Want me to add "PPG Gearbox!!!1" to the thread title?

Want me to add "PPG Gearbox!!!1" to the thread title?

Please.

As long as its a '99 or later unit we can work that out when/if you win.
Andrew

Can we drop these off in person or do they have to go through the mail? Maybe I missed it but I don't see it anywhere.

I know it says to just mail it in but I live 5 minutes from the shop.

oh man, I wish this was available in the other regions! +(

if only the sti guys could get some love haha maybe next christmas *grin*

yea WTF :(

Too bad I have a '97 transmission. Means no entry for me...:(

i guess you dont want an automatic either :( i want dog gears in my old school suby.

I'm in. Can you enter more than once? :D

What happens if I win? :( Can I gets me PPG diffs as replacement prizes?

I know it says to just mail it in but I live 5 minutes from the shop.

Chris,

Everyone else can drop it off but YOU have to mail it!:lol:

I don't think dropping it off would be a problem.

-Will

Could the winner choose to pay the difference and get a full 1-5 straight cut box?

Quadzilla - Unfortunately, for this first raffle, only the helical 1-4 synchro set is available. I ammended the Terms and Conditions to state that no substitutions will be permitted.

Big Ron - Um... Butifarra instead?

MD04WRX - Yep, you sure can! Enter as many times as you want, but please limit your entries to one per envelope.

For all of the STi owners out there, don't feel bad. We haven't forgotten you...

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

That would one hell of a Buttifari order Phil. Hope you guys are doing well, I referred like 19 people to you over the last 3-4 days.

wow this is too cool....very tempting 1 in 43 chance isnt bad odds

Mailed mine today. I wonder how long it will take to get 43 signed up? I may have to enter more than once.:D

BR - Yes. But it would be the tastiest raffle ever.

MD04WRX - Good! I'll check the mail today and post up our entrants! Good luck!

Dropping mine in the mail this am. I need to have a couple of things done to my car anyway, what a good excuse this would be to get it all done at once!! Great raffle idea!! Thanks!

its better then vegas odds,lol. too bad my RA's are one 3k miles

How's the list coming? I may have to enter again!

So far only one entry has been recieved. The first post has been updated.

i wonder how long its gonna take to get 43 entries...have you been receiving many entries and just waiting for checks to clear?

november 2008...and now announcing our ppg gearset winner!!! lol im jm....DOH i hope i didnt ruin my chances by saying that lol

No free entry with 60k service? :disco:

I'll be calling you after the Thanksgiving.

I actually just bought a gearset from you guys (russel), and I am still trying to do the raffle, my only problem is my car is 55 miles away and have no way of gettin the production date...........Could I put early 2002 for prod date. I have everything filled out besides the production date.

Trey - I'm holding all checks until the 43rd entrant. That way, should there be some reason we don't reach 43, it'll be much easier to refund and return. Since it's only the first week, all submitted entries haven't likely shown up yet.

$100 for a $5200 value? Sounds like a good deal to me!

For all of the STi owners out there, don't feel bad. We haven't forgotten you...

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

Does that mean that somehow we can participate in this event too? Or does that mean that you plan to have a separate event?

t

We have something in the works for our Mid-A STi owners, don't worry.

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

check is in the mail, you'll likely get it Friday.

Us MAIC people usually have to order our parts from across the country. We're pretty lucky to have the best subaru trans builder in our backyard!


-Zach

Excellent. We will be closed the 23rd and 24th, so your entry will be posted on Monday!

Hopefully we hit 43 soon and can make someone real happy.

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

Well, I'm planning a WRX engine swap in my car, so... would this thing technically work in a GC6 after that part is done?

:)

I know nothing about these gearboxes, guess I'd best look them up.

-Chris

EDIT: Okay so off of your page, it's this one?

5 speed Dog Engagement 4 Gear Set - helical


Pardon the ignorance, I just don't know how these work. So I guess it's technically a 4-speed?

no LOL , its a 5 speed , u make gears 1-4 straight cut or helical , READ more on gearboxtech.com

ppg gears and capt kumars car owns me.

no LOL , its a 5 speed , u make gears 1-4 straight cut or helical , READ more on gearboxtech.com

I am READing GBT, since I POSTED the text from their SITE, but thanks for letting ME know that your CAPS key WORKS.

:lol:


It's a lot of info to figure out!

gosh im so tempted to get a ticket. im not very luck tho...hmmmm

Yeah I hear ya, my wife's the lucky one.

I'll make her buy it. :D

dude theres something wrong with me, ive been thinking about this all day. hahaha. i have an appt at andrewtech on 12/18 anyway to get some things installed and this would just take the cake if i won.....ill join the list soon for 1 ticket

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We are back open for business!

The raffle is for a 1-4 helical synchronized gearset including all installation and labor. It's a prize worth over $5000!

The only qualifying material is that you have a post 1999 5-speed gearbox, and that the tranny is to be installed in your car and that we are able to rebuild the transmission without any additional parts (this doesn't disqualify you, but it may result in a slight cost depending on what needs replacing).

I recieved 2 entries over the weekend, and they are added to the initial post. Black Friday is over, loosen those purse strings and buy your chance to win a sweet deal!

Thanks to all the entrants so far!

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

Oh, and congratulations to FredWRX for having the best memo-line-quote to date.

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

Well you have to share with us what it is, so I know what to try and beat. :D


I mentioned the PPG to my financial advisor, she and I will discuss this evening. :D

So, aside from all the tech specs on your site, and your initial comment about the low noise, this is just (about) as civil to drive in a street car, as stock?

-Chris

Glad you liked that Phil :lol:

-Zach

Chris,

Pretty much. The helical 1-4 is pretty quiet. Relative to the straight cut gears, they are barely noticeable. It's nothing a good conversation or mild radio couldn't cover up. This is definately a "wife friendly" transmission setup.

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

hey phil im wondering how much power can these gears hold? over 500whp?

For the helical syncro set, 500whp is really pushing it. No one has ever broken a syncro gearset, and the straight cut synchro gearsets have held up to that power, so it's tough to say. Is it worth $100 to potentially find out if they will hold up to the power?

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

^^ The man's trying really hard. :lol: :lol:

Just raggin' on you, Phil! :)

Haven't had the chance to talk to Christine yet, things are very busy, hopefully today.

i think so, currently my vehicle is out of commsion how long is this raffle going to take?

This should be a sticky until the raffle is over........

The raffle will continue until we sell the 43rd ticket, and once all checks clear it will be a simple matter of drawing a numbered ticket out of a hat!

I second the sticky :)

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

I'm guessing once the holidays are done and gone there should be more entries. At least that's what's holding me back from sending 100 simoleons ;)

yeah hopefully thats the main reason this is going so slow. i didnt think it would go so slow but we'll see what happens

I am in the same boat as you.

Wow, we had an ambitious entry yesterday! Forst post updated.

Phil
Andrewtech Automotive

Hi.
whered you go intence? you alive?

if this were only for the 1-2 strait cut and 3-4 helical i would have sent my money in! still a awesome deal for someone!!!

Hi.
whered you go intence? you alive?

He got banned for stupid ish. It's quite funny actually. I swear this isn't America or something..

jesus joy. 3 tickets? where is the turbo u said u were getting. said u were getting it 2 weeks ago like a month ago

you think if i got the last 33 tickets i may win?

Odds would be in your favor...

little over 3:1 :/ to bad i cant afford to loose.

you think if i got the last 33 tickets i may win?

You may as well buy the thing outright. :lol:

Is this for MAIC only? Im in the Mid-west, and id have no problem driving to you guys for an install. It'd be the best christmas present ever! :)

Conditions of entry: This contest is open to all NASIOC Mid-Atlantic Region members.

That is from the contest doc.

jesus joy. 3 tickets? where is the turbo u said u were getting. said u were getting it 2 weeks ago like a month ago

errr...turbo is on the way man!

I sent it back, they're building a even BIGGER one!........:rolleyes:

Come On You Stingy People! Send Your Damn Forms In So We Can Get This Contest Going!!!!!!!!

Stingy, no. Broke, yes.

It's the holidays, man. Allow for recovery time. ;)

Megan needs a new tranny. Can we each by 17 tickets? :D

looks like this isnt goin to well. i dont think people have 100bucks to gamble with unfortunately. hopefully this goes through tho because someone will be VERY happy!

next payday im entering. ppg ftw

I just kinda wandered in from "new posts", but is this Mid-A only?

Conditions of entry: This contest is open to all NASIOC Mid-Atlantic Region members.

yep.^

So I'm curious what options you guys have tranny wise for my 04 STi(dogbox?) and pricing on that and maybe some rods and pistons? for the block :) tax return FTW

going to bed now, night shift FTL

is this raffle still going on? oh and thanks for replacing my gear synchros d: )

^^^^^^^^^^ is it still going on?

IIRC, it goes on until they get 43 entries.

Sure is. Was waiting for holidays to pass. Might have to open it to others soon. We'll see. I'll talk to the people who have already entered first.
Andrew

I would've entered a month ago, but yeah need to make sure I have enough $ to spare.

I would enter, but I'm not MAIC. If it opens up, consider me good for a ticket. After hearing firsthand the story of what you guys did to fix Ted's tranny for him this past weekend while on the 48hours, you will definately get my business. His bad luck continued with a flat tire on Saturday, but we all had fun.

I cannot believe this is taking so long! I thought this would be over in a few weeks! It is worth the wait if you win, but I may need to enter again.

discriminating against us non-wrx/sti types eh?!

what does it matter...this is never going to happen anyway.

-Zach

what are you tony the tiger...shut the f**** up

^^ Nice. Not that I'm surprised, with the member number.

what are you tony the tiger...shut the f**** up

:lol: do u know her

I cannot believe this is taking so long! I thought this would be over in a few weeks! It is worth the wait if you win, but I may need to enter again.

is it worth it if u win? :lol: r u serious

Umm, I am confused by what you are saying. Yes, my quote said it is worth it if you win, and it is worth it if you win. I was just hoping it would be over faster. With such a good deal, I thought this would take just a few days.

Andrew, this is Jorge (Lance's friend in VA). I want to enter, BUT I'm not about to donate the box you guys built for me. I have that spare trans with 1st gear that is chipped in it (It is actually still seperated) Would you consider that as my core? Let me know, seriously. ;)

what are you tony the tiger...shut the f**** up

I'm glad you can talk so much **** behind a computer.

I heard you had a stock turbo with a 20g wheel...:lol:

^^ lol i still find that funny.. what a waste of money..soulda saved it and bought the whole ******g thing.

but impulse is a mother****er and so is pierre ... have fun nickel and dimen

Hey if you include STi's soon i'll enter teh raffle!

Can we cancel this and return everyone's money already?

-Zach

I think $100's just too much for people to risk on a raffle. Maybe if they dropped it to $50, and did like a 50% match or something?

I dunno, just tossing ideas out. :)

$100 is too much?? For a dogbox?? If I didnt already have one, I'd buy the rest!!!

No, it's a lot to put in for a raffle ticket, a one-in-43 gamble. :)

You would have to have $100 lying around that you don't have any use for, other than that. A lot of folks don't, which is why they haven't hit their 43 yet.

Yeah.....so this didnt work. I thought it would have filled far faster. Oh well, we tried. Will be in contact with the few who entered, close this one and begin another on a larger scale. We'll let you know. Was thinking a wet t-shirt contest with the winner getting the unit, but everyone knows big dave would easily win.......

Andrew

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm ... Wet t-shirts.


**flashbacks to frat boy days**

:cool:


Okay I'm fine. :D

I *really* did wanna kick in money, guys, but it is a lotta clams to throw into a risky pot, no offense. We all love you guys.

-Chris
