We bought a full car from the local shop, Vakamon. I think total for the wrecked STi was around $7k with something like $3k for labor. Ours was a GC8 swap though, so the GDB swap should be cheaper labor wise (I think..) Good luck with your swap.

its well worth it though. not many people do it and the sti swap is getting a little overrated, even though it is straight baller and faster than heck, an all motor would be cool because it is so uncommon if you want a sleeper and stock looking job.

you said "i know it will cost about 8000 but i dont care..." so why in the heck didn't you just buy a sti in the first place? i agree with the others just trade it in
