Hi Tom,

What is a stage 3 install?

What are group N motor mounts?

Is your garage heated?

Sorry for asking dumb questions.

Is your garage heated?- It will be... not to mention I could throw a wrench and hit the Phil. Art Museum and the Ben Franklin Museum... Center City... Well, philadelphia for that matter

Sorry for asking dumb questions.-These are not dumb questions, believe me, I have had a lot worse

Dan, I replied in the quote to anser each question

Tom,
Might be some options on the header front in terms of "bolt in" versus "optimized". Sean and I are working on some "optimized", SS, mandrel-bent, TIG welded versions using Harvey-supplied, computer model-based specs....which just happen to match up with the cams I'm working on

I am not building a bolt in header... They will be built for my car and then an exhuast system to match. Hopefully I will acheive a 36" equal length for the car. I am still unsure of the tubing diameter I want to use.

No... $2800 in LABOR... not parts.

$2800 is if you have all the parts on hand.

EDIT: He actually says $2000 for labor, not sure where you got the $800 from. I doubt you would find a 6 Speed for $800.

I had to look twice to , the $800 is for the conversion kit assume, heck if i could have a 6speed for 2800USD installed id float my car over there and get it done haha

Congrats tom wish there was a shop in Australia

Cheers,
Jake

The kit includes the following:

....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.
Tom
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.

Ok I can see why you are getting confused so I will clear it up...

$800 is for the conversion kit and you want to do the install yourself.

That $800 is already included in the 5/6mt swap if you are having me do it, so the total for labor is only $2000 for a 6mt or $1800 for a 5mt...

I hope this helps

Tom
