I found about 15 or so used subframes for sale on the net anywhere from $175 to $350. Control arms and tierods are all well under $100 each on line, slightly more through a mechanic of course (he has to warranty the installation).

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
