@FRFC3S. I was up at DentSport buying a turbo off one of thier guys and was wandering around the shop a bit. I noticed you had your car tuned there looking through your ad. Have you ever had anything else done at DentSport? Hows thier work? Looks like they run a nice shop and have some pretty cool projects going on.

Yeah $200 an hour to tune a SAFC is a bit steep. I also need a downpipe fabbed. I might just go to a local exhaust shop. Anyone got a 3" bender?

I only got dyno'd there. But they are really nice and friendly. They have a lot of open houses and offer little free cookouts things and stuff. They are good ****. I've never had them do anything but put me on the rollers though.

Buddy of mine want me to he'll him covert a rx7 to awd .wish I just did that years ago.

Can u guys help me find some pics since u seem to all be about subarus. If not pics some answers.
Do all the suspension point bolt to the sub frame minus the shock tower tops? Can any one measure from shock tower to shock tower like center of the shock retaining bolt(not sure what to call it. Do the a Axels come straight out of the trans or do they have joints so they angel forwards? Some pics would be great of the trans and suspension in the car minus motor. I'm giving him my adapter plate I got for some work I did to mount rotary motor to sub trans.

If it works out like where hopping well just bolt the sub frame in (mod it of course) and call it a day.
Or if the shock towers are way way different spacing cut the center of the sub frame out and make it bigger or smaller as needed and get custom Axels. If the motor is to far forwards we could do a few things. Well please help if u guys can.

just wanted to drop into this thread and subscribe/say hi.

andy- its a pleasant surprise to see you on here. sad news- i sold the wrx. good news- i replaced it with a FD RX7.


also- if anyone is looking for a FC project car i have an 87 GXL sitting in the garage gathering dust. the body/interior is in great shape. the motor is blown- previous owner told me the apex seals went. i never bothered to check as i was planning on pulling the motor. now that i have the FD i'm not expecting to have time to work on the FC.
