Are you wanting to swap to 5x114 or stay with 5x100? So I'm not an expert but I think the 6 speed swap will require a diff, axles, driveshaft, and possibly hubs. Lots of pie-in-the-sky stuff I know, but humor me! Think I could pull this off for less than $10k? Any major roadblocks I'm ignoring? I'll likely replace the rear subframe too given mine is rusty now. What do you guys think is my best option here? I'm thinking Tribeca engine and a STi drivetrain (sans engine) plus standalone.
I'm assuming the best bet would be to run standalone - either AEM or Haltech (if their ECU can be compatible with a USDM car). Basically, the drivetrain in Super Gramps from Mighty Car Mods but without the turbo. I'd love to eventually swap in a low-mileage EZ36 (more power, ability to run safely on 87 if needed, better reliability than a turbo EJ, etc.) and a six-speed (likely a 3.90). Three winters in upstate New York did not do this car any favors. It is, however, getting old - 206k miles and climbing and things are starting to squeak and leak all over the place. However, I adore my car - it's been a loyal companion and just takes whatever I throw at it.

I've been looking at manual transmission Subarus to replace my 2005 H6 really only because I want to daily a stick shift again. So, admittedly I've done a small amount of homework on this but I'm hoping to start a "thought-provoking" conversation around this.
