Smile Quick Shift query?

Hello all, Im after a bit of advice, thoughts, knowledge if you could spare any?

I am building the FieSTI project with "Dazzles FieSTi", if you havent been following, it is an Impreza powered MK1 Ford Fiesta. We are using the running gear from a P1. Being that we are using proper fixed bucket seats and racing harnesses I thought it would make life easy if we had a quick shifter, as well as making for fast shifting ofcourse

I have seen a few on fleaBay for about £30-£40. Is this going to be beneficial in a P1 box? Is there anyhing we should watch out for/ go for in particular?

Cheers.
Scooby.

Has it got the 6 speed box added?

If so then a quick shift is way better matey. I personally think and thought the 6 throw was to long.

I would have thought the short shift on the P1 box would be good enough.
