Actually I will explain the difference before you ask 
Quick shift gear lever reduces the distance between the length of the gear change, meaning you get a closer feel and quicker gear change.
Close ratio box is where the gearing is reduced for accelleration, you lose top end speed but it keeps the engine on the boil better.
For example, a type R gearbox hits 8k in 5th at approximately 155mph, a UK turbo hits 167mph at 7k in 5th.

Ratio is what your on about.
I have a close ratio gearbox, AND a quick shift, so gear lever throw is small (quick shift), and ratios are great for driving (close ratio box), although could do with a 6th gear for motorways.

I would say its the tin heat shield for the exhaust headers. If you can see them when you bend down then it sounds like he hasn't got the plastic under shield fitted that would protect them along with other stuff. It's not uncommon for the tin to rust on any impreza due to the location of it.*
