my ever expanding cart of goodness

 

 

and where the project is headed performance wise it better be faster then the car beside it

Power to Weight ratio should give you the result you are looking for.

 

No one will ever think an 80s coupe will be quicker then their WRX

So much awesome..

I'm shooting for 350 hp at the wheels

and to be under 2600 pounds

 

 

 

Everyone asks me why I bother I already have a fast sti

They just don't get it

Nice work. I know and have talked to Regan on several occasions at WCSS.

Got one of my EA/EJ adapters from him in a trade.

And your build is a lot like the one I'm planning, just a different engine (EJ22T).

love wcss i was hoping to have the car done for this years show but it will be next year for sure

 

 

i was the guy with the STi towing a trailer lol

Awesome....see you sometime in Aug!

got a STi carpet to go in as well have to cut it up but it will fit ok when im done

 

got a 2.5 sti block now for new crank and rods

Slowly, but surely. Keep it up

picked up wheels for the project

 

these kinda rare

 

 

 

 

six speeds are big lol really big

Holy Cow! ... ... Six Speed!

 

Great Work, I Really Like your Project, and it is the Second car that I've seen that the Transmission Swap will let part of it to be inside the Cabin; (but the other one wasn't a Subaru)

 

I Guess You'll Fabricate a Surrounding cover for it, could I Ask if you already have considered that its Size could Shorten the Pedals Space?

 

Kind Regards.

dosn't creep into the peddle area at all it's the hight that different it's wider but not too much
