If you are ever in the area, or I am near you - you should absolutely drive the car. I am in Seattle.

I got the car back and I am just astounded by the transformation. For street-ability it is perfect - 1st still really launches you and takes care of any hill. 2nd is much closer and you can do neighborhood corners that would have been in 1st with the G20 ratio. It is just so much better matched to the car with the /21 - rpm drop is reduced significantly. 3rd, 4th and 5th are very closely stacked and perfect for acceleration. A great side effect is 3rd works well around town. 6th gear is really nice at 2300-2400 on the highway at 70ish.
Bottom line - really happy!
G64/21 1-2

FIFY. Too funny that I bought the Ruf R Turbo in 2014 for less than what the 3.8/transaxle regear, etc. part of the faux RS conversion cost the guy who paid for it in 2003.

Very cool, the rpm drops look perfect. How about 2nd? Is the 1-2 drop still really long like stock or has the rehear changed that in daily driving? I've never liked the stock 1-2 shift

Here are the stock US ratios for reference.
Note that you can look at charts, but it doesn't give you the sense of how much difference it is. In my opinion it transforms the car, especially 3rd, 4th and 5th.
