    Looking to do a WRX swap in my '01 Forester. I'm not looking to spend more than $3,000 on the entire thing. Let me know if anyone here has any information.

    $3,000 for the parts? Or $3,000 for parts and labor? Either way, it'll need to be a totaled WRX for that price i would imagine. And WITH labor it will be double whatever you've put in to parts.

    I'm doing it with a few MNSubiez members, and with the help of my grandpa. $3k for for the WRX, not taking it to a shop.

    I don't care if the WRX is totaled, as long as it has the parts I need.

    Might as well swap it with an Sti if you're doing it, why not do it right?

    also, OP IMO you might as well sell the forester instead of wasting time and money on swapping things then you could just get a wrx.

    Insurance is too much for me to justify a WRX.

    I picked up my WRX for well under $3000 running and driving. Was totally rusty. But it was well worth the money. Found out the clutch was shot, but still made it to my house haha
