Well, I figure I should start looking for a 6-speed in earnest. I still can't actually afford one, but I figure it will take some time to find one, so hopefully by the time I get a source, I'll have the money.

So I need two things: a comprehensive list of parts that I need for the swap, and a place to sell me said parts.

What I really want is a JDM 6-speed (closer ratios than the US STi) *without* the DCCD (I figure it's an unnecessary expense for a pure-tarmac car). I'd really like a set of Cusco or Quaife tarmac diffs for the tranny as well.

Here's my parts list so far:

- JDM 6-speed non-DCCD transmission
- R180 rear-end housing
- Excede Clutch and Lightened Flywheel
- Cusco Front/Mid/Rear diffs (may not need the rear diff, R180 might be good enough)
- Custom axles that mate the R180 to WRX rear hubs - or - STi rear axles, rear uprights/hubs, rear brakes
- Do the front WRX axles work w/ an STi tranny?
- Do I need a different drive shaft?
- Starter
- Tranny mount
- STi short shifter linkage
- STi shift knob w/ reverse lockout
- STi shifter boot
- Installation

Anyone know how much I should expect to pay for all that?

Also, keep in mind that I'm planning on an STi or EJ22T block and VF22/Large TopMount in the future. I don't think there are any compatability issues with a JDM 6-speed, but just in case, I'm mentioning it.
