he spent more than the cost of my impreza on the engine and mods to get it there and my scooby is still quicker over the quarter mile.

though not cheap or easy.
Good luck
Your kidding right???
Mk2 Syncros go on ebay for a couple of hundred quid!!
Ben Leech's Mk1 syncro was done without even changing the centre tunnel.
The rear subframe also mounts in almost the same place as the standard rear axle! He only added a small bulge into the boot floor too, instead of removing and raising the whole thing!
This was originaly what I had planned for my car, though the shell is too tidy to start hacking up!

That is the easy bit though - It's sorting out dodgy fueling that is the hard bit!!!!

The S2
As for the 300hp i want in the mk1 cab, a Quiffe ATB diff will definately help the traction problem, With 180hp/198ft lb of torque i had wheel spin at castle combe in 5th in the wet but that was with a standard diff, getting both wheels to pull the car makes a difference but till i get her back on the road who knows?? I have to be very good with the throttle! The mk1 is highly modified already enough to handle some more power and as i never got what i wanted when i first put the motor in its time i did.
Subawho??? is that one of those blue things with gold wheels?? and a foam dog that sits in the front guarding it at shows?? Sorry Mrgti but i left my mate in a 200sx nissan battling on a dual carrigde way whilst i watched in the rear view mirror! 8) not sure about a standing start though. sound fun!!
The 4 wheel drive thing sounds great but i`m not having no rallye hubs on my car! Ive seen the rear subframes break under hard cornering which puts me off a little! Audi 4x4 running gear appeals to me thou! made for a heavier car that!! still lots of work!

no its silver and no gold wheels in sight and as for a cartoon foam dog well not my kinda thing……To give you some boring stats its a type RA which is the light weight version with an STI engine last year with a proven 283bhp it ran a 13.83 sec quarter mile at santa pod and at another sprint event managed a 0-60 time of 4.6 sec and a quarter mile in 13.68 sec.
i not knocking your car in any way and good luck to you if/when you get it done, we all have a diiferent out look on how we do things and for me i would rather buy something designed and built for that kinda power
