Impreza

Should be sometime next week. I don't want him to rush. I saw a tranny and WRX engine for sale today 4700, that's the next step.

I've been reading a few swap threads. There is so much I need to learn, granted the engineering background and experience with the eclipse S/C.

I've watched Wathermoon's video and read up on the S/C kit. I'm not sure whether I should go ahead with a WRX swap or a the S/C kit. I think the WRX engine will be more reliable.

Opinions?

No,

I'm going to swap in an EJ20 when I sell the eclipse. I was in the USA for a couple of weeks to present my work.

I came back and went to check up on Alvin's work. Amazing, I'll have more pictures tomorrow with all the work he is doing.

All the tape is small bumps, he welded up the holes in the cabin and redid the floor of the interior. He also took the put tape on all the bumps, he needs to fix.

It's simply amazing his attention to detail.

Here is it for now.

Here is the car as it sits now, Alvin is doing a great job, I am fiercely impressed with his work.

Can't wait for the final result.
 
Hey nice build man! Really happy you picked one up and that it will have a good home. As previously stated, GCs are getting rare... Also dropping an ej20 in it is really your best bet. Supercharging is not very common in those cars and the NA subaru engines are not robust, whereas a ej20T is stone reliable and has good potential. WRX trannys are not super strong but the car is fairly light and you shouldn't have any problems before major boost.

Keep up the good work!

P.S. What color are you going?
 
^Red, It's a particular red though. Very close to the sedona red it is right now.
I'm sure you will like it. As for the engine plans, my goal is 300whp, not anything more. This is my daily and will be rust proofed like crazy and driven in winter.
