buy an astra coupe for ~$25k buy an older wrx/evo for ~20k...spend 10k swapping all the bits you want over....snd sell all the leftover bits.


2.0L awd turbo astra for ~40k

it'd be unique, but you'd never be able to sell it for that much later unfortunatley

Agree with BTM.......

I would never attempt to do the above, your always going to have problems of one sort or another and it'll end up costing alot more than you think as well !

I know from personal experience, been there done that

And yes, you end up with a bastardisation nobody wants, if you ever want to get rid of it, which believe me you will in the end...

I'd prefer buying something for 40k already complete,

wasnt joking, but i didnt say anything would bolt up!! you'd need to be very handy with an angle grinder and a welder, as well as use the 10k i mentioned :P (i didnt say anyone would be that stupid to actually do it, but i have definately seen worse things that cost alot more money!!!)


anyone seen any confirmed pricing on these yet? or the Evo?

I have seen someone convert a Ford Laser TX3 Turbo to Evo running gear (engine gearbox and drive system) and that car was very reliable…and fricken quick!

More on the new Sti...

Interior looks good, maybe even better than Evo 10.

Nice Recaros...

Still the cheap plastics on the dash though...

Still the cheap plastics on the dash though...

As long as it keeps the price down, looks good and has all the functions/features, it'll do just fine......

Would rather that than have a much higher quality interior and cop a rip off or impossible to afford price tag to buy the car, eg: any typical Audi

God I love using the cheap plastics line over and over again on this WRX
