General comments?

I ditched the standard running gear and replaced it all with gear from an Impreza STI. The car now has 320 bhp and hits 62 mph (100 kph) in a little under 5 seconds.

The STI suspension improved the handling no end.

All the electrics still work perfectly.

What an amazing sounding car now!!

I have a Subaru legacy GT and I have always wondered what it would be like to put a WRX motor in it!!

Well done sounds like my dream car:)
