New wheels.. lighter wheels..

are you going to install the sleeve kit in the transmission to make it a true RWD, and have 100% of the power going to the rear?

you have to at least use the outer splines of the front axles to hold the hub in place.

it's not as simple as pulling the front axles.

watanabe center diff sleeve
watanabe front shaft cancel

all imprezas are covered or atleast all the gc's are covered.

I have toyed with the idea.

Yes and yes and yes...

I'd like to find another Impreza.. but an earlier model .. base model 5 spd awd car.

Definitely use the front outers to hold the front wheels on.. but get the Watanabe components to get the power to the rear.

I am very concerned about the size of the scooby rear end.. I'm thinking the best option would be modifying the rear subframe and putting a R200 in along with a new driveshaft and etc.

Mike Ranlet down in FL has a R200 in his Outback running RWD so he'd probably have a good idea of what parts are needed.

Thinking about doing all this on a budget.. maybe a 1G Legacy turbo motor in like the 92-94 bodystyle Impreza.

I was thinking the same about the small rear diff, is it strong enough...

I guess.. GTE are the FOERST ones to see the car in the flesh. Haha.

Thanks again, K-man.

need to get some tires from K-man/GTE and bolt on the temporary wheels.. yes.. that's correct.. dM means we're so ballin' we buy upgraded wheels to roll on temporarily until we decide what we really want.

spent the day working on my friend's RBP coupe.. the new recruit is coming along nicely..

brady.. there is a possibility of adding a third car to our little GC8 shoot.

eugene. i hope you got parts on the way. i just bought a nice jdm goody and a pita to install part. still need a few more cooling parts tho.......and some damn wheels. cant wait for the coupe/sedan/????? photoshoot. brady gonna make us look so damn good. badass gcs (already hot)+brady (hes super hot)=baller status gcs. burn all the post classic imprezas....even pastrana's, but none of colin's or burns' imprezas though (most are gcs anyway

)

I'm going to throw on some temporary wheels until I find out what I really want in a wheel.. I might test fit a set of 17x9s off a friend's 04 STI to see if they will clear on the inside (strut/coilover).

Anyways.. my friend's 2.5RS is probably getting a Ver3/4 bumper soon.. so we will have two coupes and a sedan.
