hey there
im lookin to put a wrx motor in my beach buggy but want to know how to go about doing so.
where can i get an adaptor plate for the motor to sit on my gbox? or would i need a dif gbox. mounting and all that wont be a problem, i can customise
anything that needs to be.
ive tried searchin the forums but couldnt find what i was lookin for, mainly after an adaptor for my box to sit on the motor.
any help would be appreciated

Or perhaps you could consider fitting the 5 speed that came with your motor so it can handle the power....
Reversed gears for Subaru transmissions.

Yep this can be done legally. Also check out http://www.manxclub.org for what others

Hey there badbug another option is the RJES.com conversion bellhousing from the UK. very good quality and suppport.
With the AU dollar high it works out around $1K delivered to Aus. I have used one for my EJ25 to 2ltr kombi box
happy dubbing

with all due respect MLC, I have a 2L box behind my EJ25, but if I had my time again the decision wouldn't be hard. SUBARU box. It's a no brainer I
reckon. Twice as strong and lots of cheap options for upgrades like LSDs.
