1650 + 700 = $2350

Thats what I will have after October 10 if thats when they pay off the dividend. But first i have to see if my dad still wants to sell his car or not because if he does then we wont have enough cars for the winter as I can see if I do end up doing this project, it will take some time from being able to use the car. Supra's clucth is shot and no winter tires as well.

Also another reason why i want the 5 speed WRX transmission is because in the future I may decide to make it into a rear wheel drive.

Somebody already went rear drive, and it was not a roaring success with the SVX.

I think it may have been Huck, but I'm not sure.

If memory serves with RWD the SVX is totally tail-happy. This makes some sense, because the chassis [as opposed to the drivetrain] was designed for a front drive or an AWD layout. This means that there is a lot of weight up front, so possibly there is not enough weight on the back axle for traction.

Anyway, do a little searching before you go this road in case you are not happy with the result.
