BAJA STI swap

GC8.Joe · 01-03-2013, 09:20 PM

I have purchased a 2003 Subaru baja. I am going to pull the blown motor and then replace it with a v2 v3 or v4 STI Engine i would like some help because i don't know which of these i should use. I am going to lower the car put all STI Breaks and suspension into the car, paint it black put GC8 Rims on the car that are powder coated black. Grimm speed pulleys Grimm speed up and down pipe, HKS powder coated black FMIC, HKS BOV, and Magna flow Exhaust. Also Going to debadge the tailgate black out the head and taillights, and of course put the famous "FEAR NO EVO" on the back windshield. but before i do all of this i would like to know which engine i should use. All help would be well of course helpful Thank you to anyone who replies.
