Was just going to quote your reply 53wrx and see you've changed your mind

Does look like it's a six with the lift up reverse visable and the parts to convert back to 5spd.

I have tried contacting the seller but it looks iffy to me if I'm honest. Not to mention the location/contact info is all to **** Could be good but I am 90% it isn't.

Sold.

Definitely genuine. The guy has been on ebay since '05 with 100% positive feedback. He's not going to waste that.

Easy spelling mistake and considering the rest is correct and that the number matches the area code of broad oak I think it's sound, at the end of the day who would buy it without looking first anyway?

it had the whole 9 yards mate. Went and checked it out, bought it on the spot. Mint car, and I mean factory fresh, took my mate and we filled his boot with spare parts galore including a 5 speed gearbox Possibly the best purchase I have ever made for pure bargainess ! going to be loving brought up to date and not broken for profit like I imagine it would have been.

It's a UK STi box from a Prodrive STi, like Frayz's bug Nice ratios goes like stink. Every bit as good as the STi 5 speed I have in the wagon for rapid acceleration.

Already spent some online wonga, I might have to make this into something a little special aswell

Fella selling was really nice and just wanted a change so bought himself an AMG Merc so this had to go. Quite funny as what he got for the scoob wouldn't even be enough to replace the front discs on his new Merc lol.

Apparently he'd had it up for sale for ages on ebay for bids with nothing more than 1k bids. Only recently listed as a buy it now, just luck it was still available.
