This is my Subaru.. A 1996 aussie Impreza LX sedan 1.8L. to be honest it sucks but for what it is, it does its job. Now what i was looking for was a little more go, isnt anyone, right? a WRX swap was the obvious answer and i get to build my car from the ground up So my project started with this and most of it has be done in my driveway, excited to get her going!

slowly but surely i got my 1.8L NA piece of crap out, took a couple of hours.. for anyone with little to no experience wanting to do this i encourage you DO, there is nothing better than ripping an engine out by yourself (or dropping it out on wheels with a jack like i did ) im only 17 and just with a little guidance from a family member whom has done this many times, i did it all my self so far
