SVX 4EAT to WRX 5MT swap underway!

[svxcuseme]

Best month and a half I ever spent. I love my new car. I posted pictures of the cross member and others in my personal folder. I also made a list of the parts I used. I also have a picture of the donor car I'll post later tonight

First time I have seen someone actually use the WRX crossmember. The only reason I can see not to do what you have done is to spare the stock exhaust but it looks good! Nicely done and enjoy to the fun

That's because you never saw mine

Actually mine is like his but mounts like Jesse's custom member to the suspension/frame mounts. This seems to stiffen the chassis in the process.

The car is solid with this setup! I ended going with the stock clutch and pressure plate and they are fine as you suggested. Besides I saved a couple hundred bucks. The car is more of a daily driver rather then a racer. It suits me fine. Lots of power over 3500 rpms hehehe !

Ah, so no Tomstock Stage 2 eh?? I am working on my next one right now. WRX 5mt, cams, stage 2v5, koni/GC, Walbro 255 fue pump, adjustable fpr, lightweight fl;ywheel, ACT clutch, and some other goodies. Lots of work, but the owner will be more than happy with the end result
