We've shipped 8 rear gear sets within the past few weeks, and our rep in Japan just put another 7 in stock today for immediate shipment to the US. Generally it's been taking 3-4 days for these to ship from Japan direct to our customer's door.

Who makes the gears. Also, are they heat tempered, or cryotreated? (looking for something that will be tougher than the stock gears) Thnx,

These gear sets are made by the same manufacturer all of the gear sets sold for our car are made by -- Mazda (Mazda makes the stock gear sets, too). If you are maybe thinking about J's, please understand that J's is a storefront speed shop, and they certainly don't manufacturer any gear sets. J's gear sets, according to our sources in Japan, come from the same manufacturer -- Mazda. They just mark up them up a lot more.

The gears are not specially treated, nor are any of the others sold for much more $. But several people who have purchased the gear sets have sent them out for treatment.

Thnx for the quick reply. Sounds like what i expected. Well, right after i get my 50shot direct port installed im getting your polished valve cover, and right after that i'm getting a set of 4.44's with the 2goodies you sell. Thnx for making up my mind!

Damn Rick if I didn't have a turbo set up I would buy these, but I am afraid it will make too much torque........But I do highly recommend for everyone...Alex

What are the extra oem parts needed for the install??

Are these parts that must be purchased to install the gears (whether from you or a dealership/shop) or are these part you MAY be able to salvage for your original gears..

Also.. Can you give me the parts list so I can check with my parts manager and see what my price will be???

Thanks,

I can tell you that Rick is one stand up kind of guy.

Recently I ordered gears from him and he went well beyond the call of duty to get me my stuff.
Everything worked out in a very, very quick and professional manner.

I would recommend anybody to him -- you won't be dissapointed!

Thanks, slick rick. Our guy in Japan has been a hero with these gear sets. He's been getting them to the US in less than two days in some cases.
