The most common one is the regular UK STi 2.0 litre version.
The 2.5 versions are steadily coming available and have a very long 6th gear. They all have electric centre diff control and are currently selling about £2600 - £3000 as a kit of enough parts to convert the car.
The rear diff on a P1 is R160 size [ the small one ] and all 6 speed rear diffs are R180m size. So a whole kit will leave you with a wrong rear diff to suit your car.
Changing the rear hubs and brakes to suit the R180 rear diff is one option- the most expensive option though.
Buying a 3.545 or 3.9 R160 rear diff to make life easy is the best way, but you 'll need to swap over the LSD in the existing P1 rear diff into the ' new diff ' to be able to keep the original set up and drive shafts.
Call me on Jan 4th if this has confused you even more.

I've got a JDM 6 speeder, cracking ratio's for driving around here ........................just drones a bit on the Motorway as 6th is a bit short LOL
As David says it's tempting to change into 7th ...

Blimey David...........I'd hoped you had forgotten that
I could have *sworn* that reverse was up and to the left like my Citroen C8, very similar cars so an easy mistake to make LOL
As above, cracking gearbox (especially 4th )
Cheers

PS it made me cringe to remember
not quite as bad as leaving the petrol station at Hardwick Circus (Shell) and deciding to zero the mileometer as I was leaving..........it's difficult to turn the steering wheel with an arm through it and nearly drove through the glass double doors LOL
