my friend is converting his gx to turbo (bugeye) new engine loom ect and it is a nightmare alot of work involved.

not just a straight engine/loom swap ect fair bit of cutting and fabrication needed to cross member.

would be alot easyer and prob cheaper to buy a wrx

unless you have a good bit of cash to use a good tuner or have the knowledge to carry out the whole conversion by yourself, i would just save yourself a lot of hassle and money and buy a wrx or sti much better car and lighter than a uk car
