Or someone has swapped the boxes to make some extra cash, that's happened before.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, look at his feedback! White bug white wheels?

thats a toughie, id say it is an sti with gearbox changed, the gator doesnt fit around the stick at all.
it has the brembos and ic spray switch too.
another odd part is the aircon has been removed.

Reg shows up correct!

WHITE, 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX-STI TYPE UK 4 DOOR SALOON

Possible broken gearbox/or taken out for sale or another car and replaced with a cheaper 5 speed!

Wonder if its still running the R180 rear diff and hubs.......

If they couldn't afford to get the six speed rebuilt that was originally in the car if it is a genuine STI which on the face of it looks like it is or buy a tidy used box then what else has been neglected??

9whp right off the bat (yep a crazy yank dyno'd it) and 2bhp equivalent saving from the weight of the removal, maybe more if he's removed the ancillaries behind the dash.

2nd mod I did after a remap.

Obviously I'd cryo the 5 speed before installing it. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid.

Could have replaced it with a 5 speed as the gear ratios are different and the 5speed can hit 62 in second where as the STI 6 speed doesn't.
Saying that I prefer the 6speed.
