The kit includes the following:
....Custom X-member
....Extended shift linkage
....Modified Impreza pedal box
....Modified SVX brake booster

The price of the kit is $800, after $100 core for the stock parts.

In addition, you will need a 5 or 6mt transmission, and a driveshaft or have yours extended. Also, a custom shifter mount will need to be made in order for the rear portion of the shifter to mount to the car. I can provide this, just let me know.

Labor charge:
....5mt conversion- $1800
....6mt conversion- $2000

Anything else will usually be charged hourly, $75.00/hour. I will guarantee my work but not used parts. Any questions please feel free to PM me.

So that's $2600 for both the kit with custom parts (X-member, pedals, etc) and the labor to install a 5mt transmission for you.

Additional Items needed
....5mt WRX transmission (which I figure is about $1500 shipped)
....New or extended driveshaft
....Custom shifter mount.

I figure the total conversion, all parts and labor, is a little over $4600. I'm sure Tom will correct me if I am wrong. Now add a great shift knob, a custom leather shift boot and such and you could be revving through those gears for a little under 5000.
