22b style 97 Impreza
I bought a 1997 Impreza last month with the plans on 22b style wide body, and RHD. I bought the front clip from a 94 STi. This is my first Subaru, so there is alot of learning to do. So any ideas and suggestion are welcome. I will be running a 2.2 closed deck motor with WRX heads and a 35r. Here are a few pictures of it now. I will take some pictures throughout the build. The Impreza I will be building is hit pretty hard in the front. So I will be replacing most of the front end with the used clip. I will be starting on it in a couple of weeks. I also have been searching Nasioc for a while now looking at different builds. Hope you won't mind if I have some questions through the build. Pretty excited to get started.
Here is the front clip I bought. Everything to convert to RHD.

The car isn't wrecked anymore. And it is now RHD.
This is after my prepulls to get the new clip to fit. And also to get my door gaps back. My first cut. I cut the front end off to make it easier to get to all of the welds. Trimed up, and ready for the new clip. The front clip all trimmed up and ready to fit on the car. All welded up. Last edited by jaymzz; 04-15-2007 at 12:51 AM. Reason: Added another picture |

Here is where I left off tonight. I will add some more picture tomorrow after work. It is starting to look like something.
I love this picture of how wide the rear rocker is now. The break duct still needs a lot of work. It will look much better than this when done. Completly fuctionable. Here are a couple of more pictures. This is where I had to relocate the fuel filler neck. I wanted to shave it, and put a fuel cell in. But I have a lot of people watching this build in thoughts of having me do theres also. The fuel door, and taillights are most of there concerns. Due to a large amount of rust, I am making my own rear section of the quarter panel. I sill have a lot of work to do on this peice including adding the fuel door. A couple more pictures. Starting to look like a car again. Last edited by jaymzz; 06-10-2007 at 08:28 PM. |

I plan on using a newer obd2 wrx wiring Harness. My friend is learning what needs to be done with the wiring to make it all work. And there are ways to pass emissions.
Thanks Brydon. Here are the pictures I saw that made me want one. The plans are for mine to be similar. |

^^^ Thanks. But I think I might have to change it to Pretty Penny. That is what it is going to cost me by the time it is done.

You can have the interior trim parts back if you need them.

This might be a good cheap option for you. Wrecked GD fenders are cheap and I know you can do great body work! |

Cool, If you do this and it is not to time consuming let me know if you would do it again. For a price of coarse.

you will have to: change the crank and cam sprockets use a wrx throttle body and block off the old IAC relfash out the tgv codes install all the required odb-2 sensors and it still may not work matt M worked on this for a while its not worth it if you have a 02+ wrx harness go find a wrx long block |

Can't change the cam sprockets without some welding. The Ej205 camshaft is a larger diameter core center as were all cams from MY00 and later. And you can't put the modern cams into that old Ej20G cylinder head. The only way this is going to work is to switch to Ej205 or Ej207 heads along with the modern WRX wiring. Personally, if this were my project, I would just sell the Ej20G swap (engine, wiring harness, ECU, and older style boost senors, ignitor, etc) and use the mechanical parts that are required for the RHD. Then I would go find an EJ205 swap to replace what was just sold... |
