Please dont matey, you will have to change just about everything on the car. Better to bite the bullet and buy a wrx, they are so cheap now.

In reality you would almost be re-shelling the wrx with the sport shell.
You would need to fit the following from your wrx:
Engine.
Intercooler.
Airbox.
MAF.
Bonnet.
Radiator.
Exhaust.
Fuel pump.
Wiring loom.
ECU.
Instrument panel.
Gearbox.
Prop shaft.
Diff.
Drive shafts.
Hubs.
And to be sensible about it, suspension and brakes. On the plus side, at least it will all just bolt in without any chassis mods
