£650 for the box, or 650 fitted?

Earlier RAs had stupendously short ratios, especially if you're still using a standard wrx rev limit.

if your running that sort of power i would suggest the RA ratio's will be far too short..................if its an early box max speed is around 120 dependant on diff ratio!!

Had an RA trans from a 94 RA in my 314 bhp Sti V3, and it was terrible, all gear changes and fuss..and that's on the road. On the track is was slower than my stock Sti trans.

The early RA's run with 3.9 rear diffs, I think the WRX's have 4.1. So if they are swapping over the front diff from your WRX box then it will be manic!
