Impreza / SVX Crossbreeding
OK, so it isn't much. And you guys are probably the only people in the world who will appreciate it... but I think it is cool, and it really looks like it belongs there, doesn't it?

very nice! I take it you tacked the tip on the stock muffler? Think it is time to see about getting a single input, dual output muffler so you can run both tips

I thought about it. There's only one notch in the bumper cover, though, and I don't feel like modifying it to make it look right. Still trying to figure out what other SVX parts will swap over. I'd like to get the big front brakes, but I haven't looked at it too closely yet...

I like it. I wouldn't sacrifice my tips though.
(Hmmm, dual exhaust on the Justy?)

Big Brakes in the front on the SVX???
The front brakes on the SVX are nothing to write home about!!!
Yes the rotors are a good diameter but they are not that thick (for a 3600lb car) and the calipers are disgraceful..... A set of 944 Turbo 4 piston Brembos can be had reasonably on ebay and would mount fairly easily and would give VASTLY improved braking... On my Mitsu VR4 I have Nascar front rotors 13" wide and 1.25" thick and 6 piston Wilwood calipers with carbon metallic pads NOW THOSE ARE BRAKES MY FRIEND!!!!!!(on a 3600lb car) Hotshoe

Yeah, but on my 2500-some-odd-pound Impreza, they are big brakes. And I already have them. I figure if the car stops at all with the little compact-disc sized things that are on there now, it will do pretty well with 11(?) inch SVX brakes. I just need to (a) figure out if the caliper bracket will mount up easily and (b) find some discs with the right diameter and lug pattern.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them.

How about swap the whole hub and then run the SVX rims?

Go for 4 tips! 2 on each side of the bumper. That would be impressive!
