monstaru Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I have pretty much done what I have wanted to do in the Offroo'd arena.Kinda. So, now I am thinking on building a streetcar.I think I want to use a frankenmotor, D/R EJ 3.9, and VLSD. I would like to go a skosch lower than stock , but not ridiculous. I also think that some adjustable Pinks, strut bars, and rear lateral links would prove sweet. I wanna keep it tight to drive, absolutely streetable, and quick as ************.I might consider having someone help me change the transmission to a 4.11,but I think that 3.9 will suffice for a while. Gotta figure on getting off of the steelies, and into some other wheels.... This'll take a bit.Don't even have the car yet LOL. But even when I get it I'll have to pick up some snow tires, and do some basics to make it DD worthy. cheers:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Gen 1 GL coupe, Full STi drivetrain and modified STi suspension, dropped on 16" aluminum slotted mags, flat black with some red gloss trim, and a full race interior.

1 Lucky Texan Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 start with 06 or 07 wrx engine and drivetrain, except , maybe find 87-88 rear diff with true lsd - not worn out viscous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal_look_zero Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sounds like my OBS... minus the D/R Why would you put D/R in a streetcar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I like the 2nd gen legacy lineup for street cars. It's basically an impreza platform that's a bit longer wheelbase. All the wrx suspension bits bolt directly on, so there are tons of options for upgrades there. Personally, I wouldn't bother with a d/r for a street car, I'd just go with the 4.11 LGT transmission (not the turbo pull clutch, just pre 05). They're pretty damn strong and easy to find. d/r could be fun, but how well do they hold up to abuse from over 165hp crank down to pavement.

Well,I Imagine a D/R designed for an EJ series would hold up just fine. I will most likely be picking up an Impreza for this,and already have Most of the drivetrain bits .Need to pick up a nice Vlsd and were om our way!
