So my exterior is finished! Im more than ready for the swap... Im lookin for an 04 WRX but ther really hard to find in my area at the moment an jus as hard to find online for a decent price. Ill even settle for a 02-03 if it has low miles. Im so tired of not havin boost..Haha
Made me cry hahaha. Not really but that's beautiful. Remake the vid and at the end mute the music so we can hear it roar by! You've done what I was supposed to do with my 96 Brighton for about a year now hah
@SubieDood503 Thanks for the comment. Just the ver4 sti type-r driveline? I think it was around 2800 after shipping. I do all wiring and labor myself on my cars so that saves me a good chunk. Good choice on the GC :) Look forward to seeing your progress around youtube.
@mannydial What? only 2800? the engine and all? This is my plan; 06 STi ej25, Ver6 F/R bumper and s Skirts,Ver6 tail lights, same spoiler you have,Ver4 WRX Type-ra seats.... I found the ej25 for $4k-the complete body for $1500 with the spoiler, and the seats are 650! so thats like 6-7k right ther...i wanted to kno how much u spent for everything! and some leads on parts if you got any..haha.. I do all my work myself as well..im goin to school right now for import auto!
@SubieDood503 It was approx 8k for the complete build including the car and paint. My 3 resources are yahoo japan auctions, jhot, and japperformance parts in the UK.
Nice fuckin whip bro! i jus got a 98..looks jus like urs did..same interior and everything except i got the 2.2 . im lookin to do a Ver.6 body,interior and engine swap! Ur shit is definately one of the cleanest ive seen on youtube! Especially bein in the States! im up in Oregon, dnt see too many GC8's on the road!
building an STI of my own and was curious where you got the gauge cluster and gauges, I would like to see some more on your build. I have the version 6 motor and was curious how hard it was to find parts for your motor and where you found them at. Tuning, how was the tuning. I can't find a single way to tune and if you did, how did you do it.
woa nice work man...

Nice. Too bad mine spends more time in the shop than on the road cause of the check engine light...

@ml0191 Just use a knuckle from an OBS or RS as they bolt right on.

@ml0191 you can also use the brakes off of a legacy 96 and up!
