Only 9 carat? This a 24 carat conversion.

It's all I had.
Just in from te garage, rear shafts are on boom, that's the rear end finished.
Front shafts to bolt on
Clutch pipe is done, needs bled.
Steel is here for prop bearing, I'll do that next.
Starter to mount, top engine support to mount, a few wires and it's going to be done.
Exhaust May or May not need modified slightly to clear a few things, that's the last thing on the list.

I like this thread a lot, like everyone else, top work!

Would you mind sharing the measurements on the subaru side bolt pattern? It's something that'd be very useful for kit car builders, as they could easily chose a suitable RWD gearbox.

You have PM, you could use the impreza box RWD if you lock the centre diff.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, looks like I've done something worthwhile.
The to do list is very short now.
Gearbox has oil, prop is mounted. Front shafts are in.
Leaving the exhaust to modify and fit and the starter to fit.
I think I have a solution for the speedo, won't know till I try it.
Hopefully have it up the road Saturday

Hell if this works as planned I can see the name "boosted" passed around the community for a long time to come

Love it when someone breaks from the norm to this degree - subscribed, and looking forward to the outcome
