Don't buy an 04 WRX!!!! Buy an 06-07 because of the 2.5 and then do a 6-speed. The WRX 2.0 make no power.
I wish someone told me that before I bought my 04 WRX. The 06-07 WRX's are way better deals. Better brakes, 2.5L, ect. I love my 04 but just took lots of $ to get going fast

Here is a list of what you will need taken from HERE.
Well, I wouldn't say the 2.0L won't make power. From what I've seen, the 2.0L make about the same horsepower as a 2.5L, but a lot less torque and slightly more lag.
What you need:
5x114.3 wheels - $700 /w crappy tires
STI Springs - $200 for Cobb springs /w struts
STI Struts - came with springs
STI 6 speed - $3000
STI 6 speed clutch fork - included with tranny
STI hubs /w knuckles - $100
STI drive shaft - $35
STI tranny mount - included with tranny
STI axles - $200
STI rear diff - $200
STI clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate - included with tranny
STI 6mt shift linkage - $100 for a brand new short linkage
STI 6mt shift **** - $25
STI 6mt shift lever - $80 for Kartboy SS
STI 6mt shifter bushings - $40 for Kartboy front and rear
STI Brembos /w pads and rotors - $1200 with rotors and pads
What you'll reuse:
ABS sensors
Brake lines
All the nuts and bolts to mount stuff
Optional stuff:
STI Lower control arms (need FSB and endlinks also) - Paid $150 for the LCAs and another $140 for a Whiteline 27mm FSB and $50 for Whiteline endlinks
STI Lateral links (need RSB and endlinks also) - Paid $140 for the lateral links and $50 for Poltec rear endlinks
Aftermarket DCCD controller - Paid $340 for a Spiider
5x114.3 wheels - $700 /w crappy tires
STI Springs - $200 for Cobb springs /w struts
STI Struts - came with springs
STI 6 speed - $3000
STI 6 speed clutch fork - included with tranny
