Friends 01 GC8. Use your imagination.

 

i predict copious amounts of fun in your friends near future.

 

not before a huge Pain in the ass in my future

We have a hell of a project

 

How much you pay for it?????

 

its my friends not mine. it was like 4k for the GC8 and 10k for the whole crashed STI. keep in mind the motor only had like 3800 miles on it.

 

man now thats a project...it will be worth it in the end thou for your friend.

 

helluva deal.

 

yea not to mention he got alot of that money back selling parts off the car

 

Hell of a deal IMO. Have fun with that build. Going to build up internals etc in the mean time or just a swap?

 

screw that just swap it. No one would even guess it got 280whp

 

He's making a two door STI? SWEET!!!

The GC8 should be a lot of fun once you get everything swapped over. Poor poor STI, looks like it was rallied into a light pole. I always preferred the look of the older cars.

 

just a straight swap

it was actually a factory freak. it dyno'd at 300awhp i believe.

basically lol, the driver was incompetant and took a turn so fast and slid into a tree then almost rollled beack into a house. to give you an idea how sharp the turn and how fast he was i think at like 80mph +/- on a dry 90* summer day with the sticky tires and still slid out.

 

Those GC8's haul absolute ass with the STi swap. It's a shame that wiring in the motor is the worst part.

 

yea but we're willing to do it. he also just got a rotated turbo kit for the motor

 

Im very very jealous. Ive ALWAYS wanted to do an STi swap in a 2.5rs. Keep this thread updated my man.

EDIT: 300awhp stock? Yeah, no freaking **** it was a factory freak..... They usually dyno around 250.

 

will do mah dude i'll get more pics when i can

 

lets see a dyno sheet, theres no way in hell a stock STI dynoed 300awhp. they dyno around 250awhp stock.

 

You are wrong...... I work for Subaru(SOA) and every once in a great while we do have a factory freak come out of production.

 

dont have one, but there where a few people on the subi forums that have seen it.

 

almost as fun as my winter car

91 talon TSI

 

Nice car

I have a 98RS coupe w.02 WRX swap. I ran a 13.0 @ 107 w/stg 2 mods and my flash. I just recently threw a 20G, 800cc, FMIC etc... on it. Haven't been back to the track yet tho.



The mechanical portion of the swap is really simple. Took me 2 days doing it alone. Just make sure you use the front crossmember from the STI!! The wiring...well...messy :P

 

^Ohhhh I wanna see more pics of that!

I agree with Mnatvyc1223. I call BS as well. Not saying your lying..... maybe your buddy is or maybe the dyno was broken lol. Thats a bit much for a stock STi

 

look at the url for that pic, then change the pic number between 1 and 11 or 12, I forget honestly

 

SWEET , but omg do the scoobies suck ballz to work on .

 

how long did the whole swap take ya? we're basically doing the RS shell on a 07 STI platform

Thats fine. as a matter of fact i havent seen a dyno sheet. the guy that crashed it told us, and is still looking for the sheet. There where a few people that claimed to see it so i took there word for it. and the dyno's not broken, its a very accurate dyno
