Ppg gear sets start from last time i looked 2k plus fitting .
6speed some allow use of your rear diff and you can use your clutch and flywheel if new ish so can be done for around £1500 which isn’t to bad for further proofing
Worth noting to buy the later blob onwards for better synchros the very easily ones have a weaker set so eventually start to
Catch at high rpm especially going into 4th. My bugeye Sti had to be done
thank you so much for the info mate. i will let you know what the future build involves. i dont want to just buy a car with it done and i want to keep the current car to be honest. the buyeye will be built for track days use and not for the road use, but it will be road legal still. im not chasing bhp and happy at the 330bhp, i just want a stonger than the standard box just for peace of mind more than anything.
