Thanks GD. I was thinking Open Light. Yeah. It would be in the neighborhood of $5000 +- for the cage, seats, harness and all the safety equipment. Plus the donor car and conversion. My son wants to go with a 2000 to 2002 Impreza 2.5 RS (Bug Eye). Likes the wider body and the potential for "vast" improvements from there. That would be the wisest perhaps. But ya see lots of them and no Legacys. For a reason of course. Well, more to chew on. Lots of knowledge here from people willin' ta share. Refreshing! Thanks all. JHR

Many thanks for the response and information. Lots to chrew on but it sounds doable. If any of this was to come to pass, I would love to turn the car into an Open Class Rally Car. From what I can understand reading the Vehicle requirements, engine, drivetrain and suspension is open. Sounds like they encourage innovation and mods. And nothing about year specific. But time will tell. My son Rally's with a 1989 Chevy Cavelier. Finished his second Rally this year at Sno*Drift. "No games Racing" #762. Justin Robinson driver and Nick Fitzpatrick co-driver. Finshed 12th in class on Friday of 15. Three DNF. And 8th in class Saturday. Manage to bang up three sides and the hood. But finished. Again, thanks for the reply. We'll see. JHR

This would be using a ej22 5 speed awd.

Greetings, I've done lots of searching but have not found anything specific to my idea. That would be to put a complete engine, drivetrain and suspension under a 1988 2dr coupe. I know there would be issues with the wheelbase. Legacy being longer and wider. This could be resolved by shortening the rear drive shaft and all of the cv shafts. I don't know about the suspension mounting. May not be possible or feasible. Any ideas and opinions are more that welcome. Might not be doable but sure would make for an awsome ride. Thanks in advance, Jerry
