A young-fella i work with was telling me the other day how his m8 got a P1 and paid £2k for it 
.
Isn't every early JDM WRX advertised as an STI ?
Maybe the P1 is the new STI ?.

A Type R should have DCCD and no ABS but we wanted the longer gearing of the 4 door and the ABS so couldn't have DCCD although the switch was perhaps still there.
ABS was too difficult to retro-fit so the prototype didn't have it.
The show cars were built from Blue STi V5 Type Rs made to look the part ( we used the white one for development as we had it 'in stock' and couldn't wait for blue ones to arrive.
A P1 isn't a Type R with bits removed, it best described as a V6 4 door built into a 2 door bodyshell with Type R suspension. Bit more complex than that as some parts were fitted in Japan and more were fitted in the UK but it's more correct than saying it's a low spec Type R.

It should be possible to fit a later 6speed box to a P1 as it's been done on several 99/00MY cars before. As a P1 was never fitted with any DCCD bits in the first place you'd have to use all the stuff from whatever the box came out of but I believe some people have run manual DCCD with ABS using a new controller. not sure what the effect on the ABS would be but I can't see something that tries to keep all the wheel speeds similar affecting it adversely. I'd want to test it fully myself before letting anyone else loose in it though!!
