clutch and gearbox.

clutch is not a problem easy to replace what the options for boxes ?

A new one once yours breaks LOL! If you swap the box for one of a differing model/year then the ancillaries need to be done too, i.e. the rear diff has to match the ratios of the box.

6 speed out the Bugeye STi is good, mate of mine has one in his 400/400 UK classic 2.5 conversion :D

Cheapest option is a V6 STi DCCD box.
