Hey Guys and Gals,

As alot of you already know my GF8 Wagon's motor is on it's last legs.!

Now i have a few decions to make and hoping you guys can help me lean in the wright direction.!

- Do a Conversion with a jap Half cut.

Or sell it and upgrade?

Buy a 2003 Jap STI Front cut and drop all of it in. Plated R180, DCCD 6 speed, Brembos and Twinscroll 207

Part out what ever is left over.

Keep it and drop a 207 into it along with a 6 speed and some light weight jap rims and then drive it imho.

Depends if you actually have any $$s... Unless you've got some savings put away, and a spare car for the time it will be off the road, I would say you're better off selling and buying a real WRX/STi!

That said, if you have the $$s, and the time, a GD STi running gear conversion will definitely be the business!

^^ agreed x 1000

nothing worse than starting a project and realising afterwards that A you don't have enough funds to complete it, or, B you're back onto public transport in the meantime..however long that may be for

V3/4/5/6 STI front cut, you'll get a good strong motor, 4.44 box, 4 pots, etc.etc. & a high 12sec car that will give you close to 600k per tank around town with just breathing mods, you'll also get some money back on the left overs + it's probably the easiest & quickest option.
