Question 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

Just a quick question...

i would be able to use the STi front clip crossmember without any problems?

do i have to modify anything to make the powersteering work (no lines? different pump?)

thanks
