Wannabe Sti Forester Becomes A Gt Forester..!

[nerfbat]

do, i will try make a long story short...

while rob and i were working today, i get a text from a mate, who i had been nagging for his wrx(stripped for painting, in pieces)

he was keen to sell it and i was hoping he would hold onto it til i get my redundancy payout in january.

 

i would then have the turbo motor, sti gearbox, brakes, etc, then sell off any WRX specific gear that i don't need.

 

now, this txt today, outta the blue, said something along hte lines of: "come grab it anytime, fix me up by the time your redundancy is paid, at the latest.

so i went down after work, and took some pics

the motor is out of a B4 Liberty and was a twin turbo but he put a bigger single on it, nfi on specs yet.

will get back to you asap when it arrives

[nerfbat]

may look into grafting the side flutes onto the fozzee

so, plans are to figure exactly wtf engine it is, whats done to her(sounds angry), whats involved in trasplanting it, swapping the brakes over,

then selling off what i don't need on rexnet or something to try recoup some cash

[nerfbat]

just got a txt from him, saying the engine is from the importers in melbourne, and had 70,000 ks on her when he got her

When you know, and if you wanna sell them PM me a price on the seats :y:

[nerfbat]

they will be for sale mate

they go for anywhere from 300+

I'm sure we could work something out

the back seat is in the same trim and as perfect, may be worth trying to retrim it to suit also if someone took the fronts?

 

hoping to have her by tomorrow arvo. will keep yas posted

Plans on the rear diff?

 

If it was originally a B4 TT engine they are around 190kw in std trim. But if it sounds angry it could be anything from stock engine with some problems to a full house stroker.

hey mate. i honestly have nfi yet, would the std diff not handle it, if it is in fact a B4 TT?

he said the guy he bought it from said the gearboxes were the weak point, so he got an sti box behind it.

never thought about the diff
