Small update....
Some of you six speed owners would know about missed gears on the track with the tight and hard to find 2 - 3 gate when you are at 10/10ths. I came up with a solution after several prototypes and a little bit of testing. The actual stick height of the six speed is too short IMO and the shift knob not weighted correctly. To cut a long story short here is my solution -

Missing that 2 - 3 shift and ending up in 5th has cost me enough at events over the years, so after testing we machined up a batch of these shift knobs that get the physics close enough to make the Subie 6 speed feel as slick as an Evo box...which is about the only thing Project STi was missing over any Evo...not any more!

For those that want to know the knob is Poly so it wont burn your hands, and machined for high grip, also incorporates the 6 speed shift ring. If anybody wants one then PM, but since I am not a vendor here I wont try and vend the things on PWRX
