Yep, axle stands are great but cant go without a bit of added safety. A few kilo's of weights do the job a treat.

I really like the way the 5 speed performs on the road, the gearing in this sti6 box just suits me. Id have to go ppg 5 speed or maybe jdm 6 if i really need to change

My V3STI is in the mid 400s on the Meth map, & I went for a JDM 6 speed which I find suits the car & power perfectly. I was of the same opinion as you & nearly went PPG but now I'm glad I chose the 6 speed.
