Thanks! Looking forward to this. Lot of work and $$$ but it'll be worth it.
I'm curious, is this going to be the first West Coast 6MT Swap?

How much has all this cost ... what tranny are you using and where did you get most of the parts. Im still clueless to this stuff, thinking 6mt sounds better than 5mt hehe. And Tom when I get the funds you should come down here to NC and help me out as well plz
best of luck on tyhe swap guys |

The 6MT is def. more money than a 5mt swap. But I wanted a stout gear box that wouldn't give me any troubles.

For some reason I cannot remember his name right now but there is a guy near/around SLC who did the first 6mt swap but you are the first west coaster that I know of.
This may be the last swap I do because this year I plan on MOVING to Philly not just commuting on weekends back home but we will see how that goes. Maybe after I secure a home and have my own Garage to work in I may do it again but I get the feeling someone else here will eventually fill my shoes. Get it touch and I will let you know. Kerry, I am stoked to get out there and to think there are only 2 more days left until my flight flies out. I am going to try and sleep the whole flight so I have energy to get started that night if we can. Anyway I am ready... are you?? Tom |

I'm ready. Everything is up at the Hobby Shop in my storage locker waiting. I figured we get up there around 430-500 and that'll give us about 3 hours of working time. I'll be happy with getting the fluids drained, brakes taken off, and intake mani taken off. I'm sure theres a bunch of other odds and ends we can knock out Friday. There will be 3 of us doing this so it should go pretty smoothly.
Also, the local Dealership wants to see it when its done. I worked out a deal witht he salesman that I'd get to take out an STi in exchange for a test drive of the 6MT SVX.

Tonight I told Ryan he's going to be the Picture Taker guy. So we'll have a great step-by-step photo shoot. My plan is to do a write up for Subie Sport and try to get it published.

gest24 or kerry,
wish your swap go smooth on the next following days. I will be happy to see your pictures progress or the write-up later. How many miles on your SVX now? How many miles and what year on the 6mt STi tranny that you purchased? Have you done any research or got any info of the 6mt svx vs 5mt svx from 0-60 and its 1/4 mile? (say the engine is stock for both) Have fun!

Thanks for the support guys! Didn't think I'd be doing this mod after only owning the car 8 months. But hey, after my mom got me into Subies and turned me onto the Alcyones (XTs and SVX) I'm going to do my best to make and keep my Pearl a great car.
