2nd hand box, $1500-2000 depending on ratios and ks

6MT Sti, 7000 for box, may need other bits and pieces, like matching diff to suit

Yes, it is out of an older WRX. 1995 or 1996 cant remeber exactly what V2 corresponds to.

Yes it will fit your engine, should be easy to make the swap. RMS or MMS should be able to make the swap for around $500-$600.

dont see a point of going ppg or aftermarket gearsets if you're only using the car for street use/daily driver

1-4 ppg drive in drive out is around 6000

albins is 500 less than ppg
