A sadness only gearheads can understand.

Onelogue...

Started with the wheels eh? Good place to start. If you seriously do a swap don't think you can get away with your diffs. You will grenade those as soon as it comes into boost.

Shame the suspension isn't compatible or I would hook you up with these sweet H&Rs.

Oh i know! I have the 6 speed, rear diff, axles, drive shaft, A-arms, and control arms. Pretty much the whole drivetrain so it will be dependable.
Drivetrain first, then motor. Ill post pics/videos when its done.

A-arms and control arms? Will they fit? If they do and you plan on using the STI spindles as well.... these H&Rs will bolt up. As long as the donor car was 04-05. Just a thought.

Yup it will give my car a wider stance so ill have to roll my fenders. Would love to use those H&R however I probably cant afford them .... Used all my extra cash on the donor car.

When I got them they listed for 1400. Perrin offers them for 1200 now. Id let em go for 800.

all the awd guys out there know what its like to sell or lose that car. I had an 03 Evo VIII with about 17k in aftermarket parts and had to sell her. Heres a picture after a wash right before she got sold.

I too saw my car about a year after I sold it... driving the opposite direction on I-70 near richmond, IN.

Im in the market for another evo, sti, or s4... the 05 nissan titan that replaced her just doesn't work for me like the evo did.
