but my box lets me do 180mph plus not screaming at 4000rpm at 80 so the better ratio is worth the weight difference in my opionion and with twin scroll and avcs give the early boost i hope and the noise is so different wth twin scroll i no its not everyones cup of tea but it suits the way i drive

Just fit the 5th gear from a JDM STi for motorways and steady driving
."agreed but newage parts are much stronger than classic parts and will cope with the higher power much easier".
The basic chassis is strong enough in the two door shell. Just get an uprated engine rebuild by API.

450bhp, a 6 speed and 1293kg P1 = pretty nippy (348bhp per tonne- more than a 911 GT2
) vs newage/Spec d at 400bhp /1495kg = 267bhp per tonne. Spec D makes for a good sleeper mind.

the r180 type r diff will be 4.44 ratio and not compatible with the six speed uk and jdm boxes ,i think from memory jdm were 3.9 rear diff and uk are 3.545.
i hope somone can elaborate on this for you or start a new thread.
the search fuction is very usefull and lots of threads exist on six speed conversions.
