    Thanks GD. I was thinking Open Light. Yeah. It would be in the neighborhood of $5000 +- for the cage, seats, harness and all the safety equipment. Plus the donor car and conversion. My son wants to go with a 2000 to 2002 Impreza 2.5 RS (Bug Eye). Likes the wider body and the potential for "vast" improvements from there. That would be the wisest perhaps. But ya see lots of them and no Legacys. For a reason of course. Well, more to chew on. Lots of knowledge here from people willin' ta share. Refreshing! Thanks all. JHR

    Many thanks for the response and information. Lots to chrew on but it sounds doable. If any of this was to come to pass, I would love to turn the car into an Open Class Rally Car. From what I can understand reading the Vehicle requirements, engine, drivetrain and suspension is open. Sounds like they encourage innovation and mods. And nothing about year specific. But time will tell. My son Rally's with a 1989 Chevy Cavelier. Finished his second Rally this year at Sno*Drift. "No games Racing" #762. Justin Robinson driver and Nick Fitzpatrick co-driver. Finshed 12th in class on Friday of 15. Three DNF. And 8th in class Saturday. Manage to bang up three sides and the hood. But finished. Again, thanks for the reply. We'll see. JHR

    This would be using a ej22 5 speed awd.

    Greetings, I've done lots of searching but have not found anything specific to my idea. That would be to put a complete engine, drivetrain and suspension under a 1988 2dr coupe. I know there would be issues with the wheelbase. Legacy being longer and wider. This could be resolved by shortening the rear drive shaft and all of the cv shafts. I don't know about the suspension mounting. May not be possible or feasible. Any ideas and opinions are more that welcome. Might not be doable but sure would make for an awsome ride. Thanks in advance, Jerry

    If you read some of the postings on turbo EA82's they had their share of problems, so your only going to get a little bang for your bucks. If your looking for a daily driver then I would look for a non turbo engine. The people to ask would be GD and Miles Fox, as they both have experence with the turbo engines. Heres a post that you may want to read and/or follow.

    Greetings:

    I have a couple of questions for ya if you don't mind. I have a 1986 Loyale wagon w/ Turbo but the engine is toast. Body is very good.

    I'm either going to rebuild this engine as a non Turbo with non Turbo Cams and pistons.

     

    Or I can pick up a used ea82 non Turbo carberated engine w/ 179,000 miles.

    Then I thought I could use the Turbo heads from my engine to get the 135 hp +-.

    Pros and cons would be less initial cost, ($250) for the engine plus gasket set. But I would start with a used engine. ???

     

    Rebuild on my engine would be $550 +-.

    Will also put in a dual range trans.

     

    Any thoughts suggestions or ideas are more than welcome.

     

    Thanks for your time and knowledge.
