TheLoyale Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
