I pulled the stock 1.8Litre engine and I've dropped a 2.2Litre engine into this car. Replaced stock exhaust with cat-back 2003 WRX exhaust, AEM Cold Air Intake, and am installing 2003 stock 16 inch WRX alloys and Bridgestone Potenza RE92 tires.
Only problem is the tranny - no 5th gear (not sure why...any suggestions? Feels like neutral when in 5th).
Curious to know if a 6 speed manual will work with this car and am planning to turbo in future.

Pics to come.

Is it an auto car? if it is then you have got to add a clutch pedal into the car which isnt impossible but involves a fair bit of pisching around.

If it is allready a 5 speed the i cant see why not aslong as the block is the same as the car the 6spd is coming out off. You may have to fabricate a few mounts or something but nothing major i wouldnt imagine...

I just installed Eibach coilovers! Pics to come. Dropped the rear 1/2inch and the front 1 inch. Looks and feels great. Decided not to mess with the tranny too much and am replacing it with a used one from another 95 AWD in two weeks. Pics will come soon!
Front and rear strut tower bars to come as well as skid plates and a roll cage - I MUST HAVE A TIGHT SUSPENSION AND OFF ROAD ABILITY!
I've nixed the idea of a turbo - not enough $$$ in the budget, but if anyone has freebies for this car, please let me know!
