Anyway, back on topic now, even though the 6MT is heavier, it should actually preserve the "marginal" SVX front/rear weight balance. I'm doing a 5MT w/WRX tranny and I don't like the idea that 100lbs is going to be lost between the axles...that's where I want ALL my weight to be
Na, not a prick. Prick's are the "new" subie owners that hate on our cars. Not relizing it's the grandfather of the STi. As for the Engine. I agree that the EG33 is the soul of this car, just thought a 300hp engine with a better aftermarket would be fun to play with. But I'll settle for the 6MT, atleast I can get a nice clutch and work with the "will the brembos fit" question.
