greetings from Australia! (East Coast)
i have owned quiet alot of subaru's over the last 10 years (23 i think..)
my last project being a built 2.7l RWD SF5 Forester (stated life as a 98 NA)
(if anyone has attempted the RWD conversion, they know damn well how hard it is to make a reliable RWD subaru. let alone a drift car)
i've always had a soft spot for the Brumby (Brat) built this one when i was younger. now pulled it out of storage and going to have a bit more fun with it.
plans are to drop in the Nissan SR20DET (parts are really easy to source here, and they are a tidy engine) with the RWD gearbox, subframes and crossmembers and all.
the front crossmember is close to bolting straight in, while the rear needs a bit of fabrication. wrx or nissan dash conversion, aircon, power steering. should be a fun little car when im finished :-)
