wrx conversion

conversion for $900. i was just wondering how hard it would be and what all is needed for the conversion.:vader

i may not be able to give the most detail as i have not carried out the conversion
but i will give a few things.
1) BIG BRAKE UPGRADE (very important unless you want to crash).
2), suspension upgrade
3)transmission (some may argue this point)
4), cut out the spare wheel well in front of bug, and replace with radiator of your choice.
5)fit engine (required cutting the firewall, making up engine mounts, buying adaptor plates .etc (quite a big task).
6). throttle control so the front wheels dont lift at every set of lights

Hi there SouthSide
check the Non VW Engine conversions
1303Steve is currently doing a conversion
Jak Rizzo has done one is a 1302
Paul (1303) is doing one
Boof2332 also has one in and running
Seagull in West Aust sell adapter plates.
Buggy Brad (Custom Off Road) does drive in drive out conversions and sells bits
This is probabally the best coversion - Jaks 1302
