It's finally done. The silver RS that's been camped out at the shop forever has finally gone. Over the past few weeks, it received an '04 WRX drivetrain (engine, trans and rear diff as well as the driveshaft) and the entire dash. We're now offering similar swaps for $6500 which includes parts and labor for a WRX swap and approx. $13,000 for an STi swap. The STi swap is considerably more because it includes the brakes, suspension, etc. etc.

All parts are from salvage cars with less than 30K miles. We can source extra low miles cars (although the price might be a little higher) like the one that went into the silver RS. That one only had 4100 miles.

Here are some pics of the completed car. We'll probably be at TGIM on Monday if anyone wants to see the car in person.

Merry Christmas,
-Steve

I'm so glad to see it finished. BTW, for anyone that didn't have a chance to see it...the GD dash in a GC-era car is pretty sweet.

Me too ... now I can open the oven doors. When are you going to be back in Cali? You're not going to miss TGIM, are you?

-Steve

Fantastic Job Steve, looks great.

-Jesse

:banana: Simply Amazing.

open the oven doors! did you even finish the 4 door wide body molds? if i cant sell my car for a 2door imma want to do this or atleast some wide fender flairs :_)

Do you also have this available for 2.2 GF4's? I'm not interested...yet, just wanna know if it's an easy/good possibility.

I will be back in Cali Wednesday afternoon / night. Unfortunately, this means I will be missing TGIM. Though, I still think my attendence record is pretty good. I have only missed when I've been out of town by at least 200 miles.

Is it possible to swap a WRX-4EAT combo into a 95LX Auto?

sweet job...!

what happens to the original parts? :confused:

btw looks awesome steve! keep up the good works.

Hmmm.... I may just have to show up...

looks good...i may be there.

Sweet!!
I Want to go for a Ride, Wont be back in cali till wed,
oh well- Nice job.

-Matt

Looking good Steve!

You finally got that silver RS out of the shop! :lol:

Anyways, what happened to you last weekend? I was there in hopes of fixing my exhaust leak. Waited 4 hours...... I wasn't the only one who was waiting though... LOL

Anyways good job!

-Shin

more pics?

That looks sooooo clean... :)

It should.... for only having 4100 miles on the motor & transmission. :D The chassis has a few more than that however.... ;)

anyway to change my car into a 2001 coupe? lemme know.

open the oven doors! did you even finish the 4 door wide body molds? if i cant sell my car for a 2door imma want to do this or atleast some wide fender flairs :_)

Nope ... still working on making the first set of 2 door parts. It's still on the ever expanding todo list :)

Do you also have this available for 2.2 GF4's? I'm not interested...yet, just wanna know if it's an easy/good possibility.

The earlier front doors don't match the WRX dash as nicely but I think that there might be a way to transplant the WRX door cards as well. It would make a nice STi swap with the door cards, dash, etc.

Great Job Steve, it looks great!

Is it possible to swap a WRX-4EAT combo into a 95LX Auto?

Thanks. Sure thing. I used the entire wiring harness from the WRX so all of the auto-specific stuff (and there's a lot of it) would be intact. Same deal though with the doors although I'd like to see how easy it would be to transplant the new door cards as well.

what happens to the original parts?

btw looks awesome steve! keep up the good works.

Hey there, Merry Christmas and stuff. The original parts become kinetic sculpture ... or they get sold. Wanna buy an RS interior, engine/tranny, etc.? If you bring me an RS to convert you can keep all of the parts that are left over. Kinda offsets the cost of the conversion a little.

And thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Arrggh, I'm really sorry about that. I've been fighting some kind of flu for a few weeks and I forgot that I had scheduled some jobs for Saturday. I actually thought that one of them was cancelled and that was the only one. I'm so sorry ... I'm a moron. Nothing like waiting in Costa Mesa for 4 hours :(

Anyway, give me a call tomorrow afternoon/evening. I'll be in the shop. I'll talk to you about the VF22, etc. as well.

anyway to change my car into a 2001 coupe? lemme know.

The reverse swap? I've got a big hammer and a ton of bondo, when do we start?

I'll take some more pics tomorrow night.

OMG drool! Steve I sent you an e-mail.

where is TGIM? i work in newport and would like to check it after work. :)

any of these things closer, between Newport and Lbc?

you list $13k for an STI swap to a GC... what would the rate be for the same swap into an 04 wrx? Seems like it would be way easier since everything is pretty much plug-n-play... Sounds kinda pointless, but they don't sell the wagon in STI trim here, so it would be worth it. :D

Plus you would end up with a full WRX drivetrain to swap into a RS (my car has 25k miles on it.) So how much could you do it for, out the door? Full STI drivetrain and suspension (engine, tranny, ECU, DCCD, suspension, rear diff, brakes.)

Not to be a buzz kill but it would probably still be $13k because even though most of it would be plug and play the STi still has AVCS, electronic throttle control, (AYC for 05s requires something with the ABS sensors(dont know if the WRX is the same) but yeah I'm sure you get the point... Steve also does the RS > WRX swaps for 6500 including labor. So basically take out the labor for the RS > WRX swap and the amount leftover would be how much the STi swap would be discounted? I dunno, Steve will probably chime in later on tonight.

actually i think he was talking about a usdm sti into his wagon... and since he doesn't need the interior and all the wiring is already there it's basically just a swap for motor and drivetrain... unless it's gonna be done the way you are doing your swap... and only the 05 sti have thAT stupid drive by wire.... also the ayc is built into the tranny it's just sensors with the diffs not with the ABS.... it really doesn't do anything like the ayc available in the EVO's.... I don't think the prices are all set in stone and it does vary from swap to swap.... who ever is interested in the swap please pm us @ aerosim research or pm me for appointments for quotes and stuff.

The engine wiring harness for the USDM STi is most definitely NOT plug-n-play with a WRX. Not even close. Also, the same rear suspension, tranny and other parts also have to be swapped just like the RS. All the mechanical work is the same along with the wiring. The only thing you save on is the dash, fuel pump controller and maybe a few other small things... A JDM STi is a different story when it comes to the wiring.

Maybe I'll do that to my wagon someday. I'll take care of the work myself though. :p

good job steve, looks perfect.

did you end up buying that black RS?

as in- the chassis harness is significantly different between 04 wrx's and STI's, and the WRX chassis harness will not plug-n-play with the STI engine harness?

Even if the wiring is the same, there is still the bonus of the "core" engine / tranny / diff etc etc being actually worth something vs. the stock drivetrain out of an RS... so there's at least an opportunity for some kind of a break. :)

I was planning on having one of my friends who buys cars at auction help me out in finding a low-milage totalled STI, but if it's only a bit more expensive to have somebody else do the whole thing for me, I'm all for it. :D

Yes, i was talking USDM STI. and i want the whole deal- motor, tranny, suspension, DCCD.. i don't care so much about the AYC, and I'd rather have an '04 drivetrain anyway... finding 5x113 wheels that fit the wagon right might be a pain in the ass...

:(

You should have kept it! Anyways, I got a ride in it today and all I can say is the pictures doesnt do the interior justice! It looks so much cleaner in person.

the rs only had around 25k miles...the car was friggin perfect!!! trust me, i regret it everyday.

Nice work, Steve-O! It looks factory!!!NINE You can experiment on a GC4 conversion on my car for no extra charge! ;)

Awesome swap! :D

the interior is stunning seeing it inside a GC. How much for the STI to a WRX swap i would still like to know

probably more expensive than if you sold your WRX and bought an STi new...:D

It would be a little less. The dash would still have to come out to swap the wiring harness over and you'd probably want the new HVAC and climate control if it were an '05 STi. Anyway, probably about $1000 less than in a GC8. Most of the cost is in parts because salvage STi's are still kind of pricey and kind of rare. I gave an estimate at $13K but I think the STi swaps are probably best done on a car by car basis. Trading your drivetrain would be worth around $3000, so you'd be close to $9K for the whole swap. It would be really cool to have an STi wagon and the total price would be close to the cost of an STi.

Thanks, Charlie et al. That's correct ... the wiring's totally different and to do the brakes, you need the hubs and the axles and the rear diff. Pretty much all of the same stuff that has to be done to the RS except for a few things here and there.

I answered the cost thing in a previous post. The past few STi's that I've bid on went for around $10K by the time all the fees, etc. were paid. I bailed before that because they were out of state and I couldn't inspect the car. I'd expect that anything local will be more expensive ($2K+) because that seems to be the trend with salvage WRX's. So, the labor isn't a huge part of it if you can find a reasonably priced STi.

By the way, I don't suppose there is an easy/cost effective way to do a STi wagon conversion in phases? I already have the suspension, I'd just need the engine and tranny (and wouldn't want the big brakes).

Yes, it's to make 15" rally and 16" street wheels and tires NOT FIT. :( :mad:

No thank you.

I won a CRS rallycross series championship in my wagon, and I plan to rallycross it again some day.

Like RR said, I can fit regular STi 4-pots and skip the Brembos when/if the need ever arises.

The whole point of this vehicle is to have all the performance and not lose any of the functionality.
If I was willing to forego practicality for BLING, I'd have bought a STi sedan two years ago.

i've never really thought of the sti brembos as "bling", but some 4 pots would work just fine and you'd probably save some money too.

whatever you do, people need to start getting in line. after seeing the quality of work steve put into this swap, people are knocking down the door for swaps!

i've never really thought of the sti brembos as "bling", but some 4 pots would work just fine and you'd probably save some money too.

Well, comparative bling, anyway. ;) I really have nothing at all against the Brembos except for the wheel limitations.

i hear what your saying tho...hey, if the 4 pots are good enough for the 22b, they're good enough for me! :lol:

i hear what your saying tho...hey, if the 4 pots are good enough for the 22b, they're good enough for me! :lol:

Non-Brembo 4-pots work great with the right pads and rotArs. ;)

These dont look that bling do they?

http://ourgarage.com/Other-L/25RS/Fully_Assembled1.jpg

I think it's more of the wheel limitations than the 'bring bring'. I'd paint 'em flat black though, personally.

if the 4 pots are good enough for the 22b, they're good enough for me! :lol:

ditto:) Personally I like the fact that they say "Subaru" on them. :D

I believe that good brakes should be a bigger priority than power. My miata has 6-pot brakes and a blown stock 1.6L engine. When i replace it i'm most likely gonna go with another 1.6L.

Everyone SHUT UP about the brakes! This thread is about making RSs into WRXs and WRXs into STis! :lol:

Yeah, I finally took a few days off. This whole not working for a day or two is pretty sweet. Too bad it caught up to me. I've been swamped all week and haven't even had time to check NASIOC all week. Thanks for teh Birfday thread. I was going to kick back on my Birthday but I ended up doing an up-pipe install instead.

I'm probably not going to be at the shop much this weekend either. I'm finally getting all of the books in order for tax season. :furious: Taxes suck.

Later,
Steve

I think theres a reason they put big brakes on the STi....

Yeah, ask thesmokingman about the brakes on his wagon.

I could do the wagon conversion in phases. The engine/tranny/wiring is the big phase though and is most of the cost. It really wouldn't make sense to do the engine first and then the tranny or vice versa because the wiring harness would be a nightmare. No big deal doing it without the brakes. I can leave the WRX rear hubs and axles and just use a Legacy R160 diff to match the 6 speed, or use the R180, axles and hubs and use the old 2 pots if you want to avoid the bling.

Anyway, I like Larry's brakes. You want brake bling ... check out the 8 piston Stoptechs on the H2

Hey Dan ... probably a little less but I'm not entirely sure. Some things just don't fit right in Legacys. Come by when you've got some spare time and I'll poke around in your car and see if it looks like they'll be any odd problems with the swap. I know the engine, tranny, etc. are OK, I'm just wondering about the wiring, etc.

I just bought an '05 WRX with 6191 miles on it for another RS swap, so the next one that I finish is getting climate control.

Hey Steve,

dumb question, can you mount a USDM STi motor to a 95 LX with an auto? ok, more realistically, can you swap any WRX drivetrain in said LX with auto, or does the donor have to be an Auto too.

yes, I'm lazy, I want an auto. I am have been worried about my LX since it has been leaking from the head, and it looks like the motor has been haphazardly rebuilt :( (I bought used) But I love driving it so much, that wouldn't want to get rid of it.

thanks for any info,
RR :D

The only problem is that the wiring harness has all sorts of auto specific stuff in it and I'm not sure but the ECUs might be different. But, there are a lot of salvage autos out there and I'm guessing that they're cheaper than the manuals.
