Set it on fire and claim insurance? Ej22's are hard to find and cost as much as a turbo motor mostly!

One of dads mates from work did a twin turbo conversion to his gen2 gx wagon, he saved the engine gearbox exhuast and lpg set-up doesn't even want a carton for it, but the block of the engine is f**ked and so is the gearbox. So plan is to throw the original engine back in dad said it should be okay it just blows a lil smoke but what's new

then I'l get these parts of dads mate and use the heads on my block Got a quote on a gasket kit today, seems alright priced I guess, so aslong as there isn't any different between the gen2 heads should be all good. Also should be getting some RS sideskirts this weekend and a RS rear lip As for the RS I don't really want to get a loan on a car. Hopefully when this new engine is build it'l see me out of my Ps

Should come up trumps with the RS skirts on and a bit of paint. Grille looks tidy also. Remove those damn led lights in the foggie cutouts asap!

Not diggin' the two-tone :lol:

Should look nice once it's all painted up though. Are you planning on a turbo conversion to match all the RS goodies?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

I'l remove them LED foggies when I find some OEM ones

Talked to dad and should be starting on paint withing the week or so

A turbo conversion would be cool. But being on my Ps that's still 2years of before I worry about it More like 3tone with the amount of black appearing in the front bar

Looks good. I reckon loose the STi badge. Doesn't matter how hektic you reckon it is, it'll never be an STi. Also some nicer wheels would go down well if/when you have the cash. Those ones really don't suit IMHO. Early WRX half cut ftw!

Nice bar, car will look tops when you've finished the body and brought it back down to earth.... And did the grill come with the **** badge? Lose it asap. Grill will look better for it. EJ25 conversion? Out of a GEN II/III RX/Heritage, or RS Impreza. Nick

If thy tint is dark and thy wheels are black thou car be declared b11tchin'

So you can run it on 6psi with an rx fuel pump?

STI badge its staying and that's that. I bought it and IMO it gives the grill a less plain and boring look. Got a lot to do before rims soop but I'd like to change them oneday. Nik if I can find an ej25 with a loom and ecu I might do it instead of rebuilding the ej22. If you want a hand with that grill jeff let me know I can hold beers pretty good

Thanks for the comments guys

should have some more RS goodness for the hooters meet

Now there's an idea. I might know where to find one if you want to go down that path...

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

Yeah...I added one to the Impreza and took a photo.....it looks the shiz and makes everyone think it's a STi......oh wait that's cos it is a STi.

I don't agree with the badging, but meh, go for it, you'll probably take it off in a month anyway. Or after everything is painted up, nice bar once again mate.

And I hope you think about the 2.5 idea, it's got a bit more power than the 22 and will be a newer motor, say MY00-03, with some replaced internals you should see some ok power, and less fcuking around then a H6 or T conversion, and completely legal.
