Default WRX BodyShell Track Project

Hi Guys,

Well after owning 2 superb scoobs ( STI RA V-LTD, RB5), I'm now wanting a 3rd but for the track only.

I currently have a 205 GTI trackday car and want to expand my collection from 1 car to 2 cars .

Now I was thinking of buying a cheap STI for about £2-3k and rebuild the shell with roll-cage, uprated suspension,brakes you know the works well within reason really (money).

Then I thought it'll probably be easier to just buy a shell and work up from that, without the need to strip a complete car then start rebuilding.

Now I've been offered a 1995 WRX shell and I mean bare shell, which is perfect, but what I would like to know is the following :

1. Will all the mounts on the WRX be the same as on the STI model, i.e. Gearbox, engine, suspension mounts.

Yes, the mounts are in the same, but not the same material
