anyone seen/thinking of doing a conversion? coz here we ave been thinking bout either doing A) a vr5/6 Type R into a "vr8 Type R" or B)use the existing vr8 into a 2-door Type R.

we r still doing the research on parts and price etc, but most probably go to option A.

This what you have in mind?

jackieFMbrunei

thats a very good example of photoshop werks m8, but we've seen better example i.e. heard of the half-penny??

yeah, when it's all done gonna post a piccy here n share it wit da world!
whaddaya reckon? so far, we accounted the cost around $10 k ish, most probably bit more though

Do you mean you wanna add a STI version 8 front and rear to a classic shape 2door

Are you lot on drugs or something?

The Type R is the best of most worlds as it is. Save yourself the hassle and go buy one.

Long live the Type R, they'll never be another...

Yeah but imagine a Type R with a 2.5 engine and twin scroll Turbo and ver 8 22b bodystyling.

What you need is a lightly damaged but written off sti 8, or even 9!!
Then, do away with two doors, lengthen the front ones, bulge the arches, and bung a bigger lump in, and away ya go!
Simple eh!

thats the prob we encountered when designing with the vr8, involves too much work. so we decided with the vr5/6 type R. replacins the body works with those of vr8, and wallah!
mind u, mods have 2 b made to the frames/sub-frames as well, not 2 mention the internals....thats why the gargantuan research as we want 2 make it look a completely special "model", ahem...

SUBTYPER
engine-wise....stick with the "original". maybe an upgrade with a 2.2 stroker kit+twin scroll etc....
it all comes down with d same problems....those greenies r actually quite limited...

jackieFMbrunei

so i take it no one has done it then.....

excuse my ignorance but i fail to see why you would want to do it................ unless you where really bored and had far too much money

it all comes down 2 d reasons i/we love scooby at the 1st place:
1) blue 2-door coupe wit gold alloys
2) the exhaust rumble
3) the performance

ask yerself, or anyone who is scooby-crazed n i'm betting my a$$ at least ONE of my points above takes their criterias.

going back 2 d topic which started dis thread; d classic imprezza is a beaut, but so as the new age (discounting the MY01/02 ie. bugeye), however the new age does NOT come wit a 2-dr version. so, rather than waiting for subaru 2 listen n act according 2 market demands, me just hav 2 take matters n2 our own hands n "built" our own 2-dr vrsion!!

wicked

I personally think you have too much money and too few brain cells.

Good luck with it though!
