I paid approx $15,000 USD for the car as I bought it in the first post, had been through a few owners, mostly elderly gentleman who had grand visions of what they would like to do with it but never completed it.
As far as what one costs out of the factory I'm not too sure, I've seen some pretty big numbers thrown around for complete ones. As you can appreciate there's a lot of man hours involved in something like this.
I had originally looked into using the newer style 6 speed STI gearbox behind the SR but the R180 diff and the idea of running a lockout spool to convert it to fwd was giving me nightmares. Once I found the site I got the 01E off I was sold, standard ratios were too tall for my application but what I've purchased worked out a treat plus it has a 10" cw&p so the diff shouldn't be an issue.
