Yes, Evo X doesn't have in 6sp manual only 5sp manual and SST. The 5sp one also very rare here. Evo IX is the best, better than any X. IMHO any Evo is better than the X!
Hmm Bro Renesis mentioned above that maybe converting Satria GTI to use 4G63T cannot be legalized anymore. But maybe can just buy one already like that with already approved jpj papers before like below?
very cheap so if you trash it then no big loss but if you are going to use it as daily then not so nice.

Satria is a tossable light car, sure got many options to strengthen the chassis and suspension for track use. Then fitted with lightweight 15' rims and AD08R tires then it should be fun car to play with.
Evo 7 is an excellent car if you have the budget (around 55-70k now depending on condition and mods).It's the lightest of the CT9A Evos and equipped with the more robust 5sp gearbox but the AYC is not as advanced as the later versions. Price wise, I think the Evo 7 is like the best buy out of the CT9A now coz the price has become much cheaper relative to the 8 never mind the expensive 9! I'd rather take that than any Evo X! I'd also rather take the Evo 7 than S204 but that's just me coz I like Evo more than any Subaru Impreza (except the old 22B STI).
