I found a guy who did an STi engine sawp into a '99 Legacy. '04 USDM STi engine and transmission. Looks pretty good but I think the BBS wheels from the STi would look a lot better than what he has. Nice car though.

Yeah that's a different one. I've seen this one before though. 
It's a lot of work, but the results are pretty impressive to say the least. I'm a bit biased toward this body of course!

The 1999? Or what? I kind of like the '99 body because it still looks pretty similar to the Impreza. they still must be really quick cars. Mind showing us all a link to the other one you guys saw?

So, yall want pictures of all of my rides huh? Ok I can do that. I don't like to brag. I only have pic's of a couple of my cars. Not all of them. I'm not rich either. I have to put insurance on what I want to drive for the month. I can only drive it for the month also. I cheat a little. Here it goes:
This is my 2000 Dodge Dakota
This is my 2008 Dodge Challenger
This is my 1993 Ford Thunderbird LX 5.0L
This isn't my GT 500 but it is close enough.
Last buy not least is my jetski. This is where the fun starts.
Oh! I forgot about my wifes 2003 Hyundia Sante Fe. No pic's of it. It sucks!

I like these mazdas, peppy roomy, can throw rc stuff in the back! Thought about selling my truck for one since I'm sure gas will go back up with BO at the helm.

and yeah i expect we'll see $4.00 gas again this summer. kind of a bummer after the brief relief of the $1.50 to $2.00 prices we've had in my area, but that's how it goes. i'm glad i didn't buy a 15MPG SUV!

No need to lie about what you dont have... Like the challenger and the GT500. If you have them lets see a picture of all your vehicles in one spot.

If that's then case then I have this.
And it will eat your GT and your Challenger.

Yeah, this was me at the local track last Saturday night. I don't drive it to work because of the mileage, but I use it on the weekends.

probably a little worse than that even, last I knew it was about 1.5 gallons per second! The exhaust comes out at 7000 degrees so don't get to close to the side of the garage! and the spark plugs are only good for a 1/8 mile at a time, by that point the electrodes are nearly gone and the motor is actually running like a glow motor and can only be cut off by stopping the fuel supply, the most RC relevant part, with dual magnetos you are putting 44 amps to each sparkplug lol. One of the coolest things I ever saw was a buddies dad using some old connecting rods from one of these big hemis to hang his exhaust and his steering column with them, they were out of Karl Moyers Pro mod actually which is not quite a funny car but same basic design on the motor. And these are not dodge hemis you mopar lunatics

I was close. (1.5gal/sec x 4 sec run)= 6 gal. (6 x 4 track lengths)=24gal/mile! It gets better mileage than I thought!

I have posted this in here beforee but i just lowered the front more.
Before.
After
The front end site exactly 3.75 inches off the ground at the lowest point. And the exhuast is like 5.5 inches off the ground.
I know it doesnt help handling at all, but it looks sweet.

you cali guys are so lucky that your stuff ain't rusty, I know you will probably never have a desire to visit the midwest but you should someday just to see the rusty junk the rest of us gearheads have to deal with. The beetles of that era are still fairly commen here but they are either restored or very rusty.
