Just wondering if it would be possible to fit an early WRX engine and running gear into a 4WD Justy?

I understand that a lot of work is involved and if I had the funds ANYTHING is possible but is this a viable project?

Just wanna see peoples faces when an M reg Justy overtakes them on the way to a 3.5 sec 0-60!!!!

I remember speaking about this a few years ago to see if it was possible. We decided that the car would be more fun as RWD though

Given the logistical nightmare of getting everything to fit, it's probably quicker and easier to take the basic Impreza transmission, and build a light weight tubular chassis and fibreglass body over it (can make it look like anything you want then) like that Delfino Feroce demonstrator a few years ago (circa 900Kg).

Grind it? Why would David bother with something like a Grinder...he'd be getting the trusty Plasma Cutter out again

a guy i know, has bought one for this purpose (ish) he is fitting a starlet glanza turbo engine (hopefully) quite soon, the prep work is almost done so should start to take shape quite soon ish

Any updates on this at all?? I looked into it and it would need a lot of custom welding and things like one off props etc so its a no goer for me at least.

New project? 2 litre 16v turbo into my 1986 VW Polo hatchback

Take 2ft out of the Impreza and create a SWB
