Just got a PPG Helical Dogbox 1-5 & R need to learn how to drive it

Llyon Gauge · 09-25-2009, 12:38 PM

I recently recieved my PPG 1-5 Helical cut dogbox today and it is currently being installed. It is also paired with a Cusco center diff and carbonetics front diff., and ACT 6 puck clutch. How hard will this be for me to learn to drive, since I do have a car show I will have to drive it to tomorrow. I'm not a vet driver and have never driven anything like it before. I would consider myself an experienced novice. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

15-20 Minutes you'll have it down. To learn all the tricks may take a few days.

Sweet, I'm a quick learner, and am just concerned because I have quite a ling highway drive to Bradenton tomorrow and it'll be my 1st time driving a dog box. Will starting off from a stop be any different especially on a hill? I was told that I will need to double clutch every gear as well.

Um any reason you went the route of the dogbox? What is the car used for? what other mods have you done to require this tranny?

The car was my daily driver until I did my turbo swap : retune and 3rd gear went poof, lol. So now it's going to be my weekend car / time attack car. I have a VF-39 ported and polished, front mount, k&n typhoon short-ram, and a ton of other things done (catless bellmouth downpipe, injectors, etc...). I also planning on running a larger turbo in the future, like a 20G, GT35R, or something crazy. My car is also a 2006 WRX TR, so I didn't want to ever have to worry about the 5mt breaking again, so figured go big or go home.
