Few questions from a newb
Hello Folks,
I am new to the subaru world and had a few questions. A little about myself, i have been a car person my entire life. I currently own a 1990 Toyota Celica GT4 (imported) and i have also owned a 1988 Celica All Trac, 1990 Corolla Sedan with a 2.2 3SGTE and i am currently building a MR2 race car. As you can see i have been a Toyota man my entire life but i am looking to try out something new and Subaru looks to be it. I am currently looking at a 1997 Impreza Wagon and looking to pick up a similiar year STi front cut and was wondering if there is anything not included on the cut that i would need to finish the swap between the two. Also would the suspension and brakes from the front cut fit onto the wagon? I like the wagon because i don't like to go with the norm and i love the style of the older wagon (and the affordability). Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info.
i am going to be keeping it LHD, my Celica is RHD and i have too many problems with insurance and such. would anyone be able to recommend a solid engine importer in ontario that would have the front cut include the rear diff? I have seen them combined before but the ones i am looking at now don't have it included. thanks again |

Hey
thanks a lot for the heads up. I PMed them for some prices. I have read about buying a Impreza wagon but was wondering if you guys any good tips on what to look for when buying a GC wagon (correct chassis code?)? Thanks guy |
