LOL. I like the "it might have had leather interior..." !MIGHT" OMG! LOL! I want to see the deal with the brakes. Likely it's just the stock plane old calipers painted red. If not.... I'll buy them off you and what ever is needed to convert to what ever it is! LOL. Good luck dude, and yeah this guy is NO car expert.

K, the SVX is under speculation, hes trying to get a lein and all thast jazz on it.

Ive made my decision on what motor and turbo setup im going with. And im starting my engine performance class in 2 weeks which will give me a start on it, and due to me not having a place to live right now, the car might not get swapped till fall when im in my High Performance class, and it might remain LHD if i dont have a garage by then.

Anyways, i have like 75 bucks laying around in paypal, anyone got some red rally armors they wanna cough up?

Keep me updated on the SVX status.
Good to hear you've finaly issolated what you are doing engine wise on the RS. Just remember you'll find you want to re think things just as often as before untill you actually get something you can grab with your hands. GL

Ive found that the cheapest way to run a swap, is to get a EJ20 twin turbo which can be had for 3-4 hundred bucks, rebuild the bottom end, not sure about cams and topend parts, but pull all the TT parts off and sell them to make some money back, build twin scroll headers (unequal length) and run the rotated HX35 with a front mount, which im just going to run a standard bumper width one, not the 50/50 thing i thought of. Should put down some good power and spool shouldnt be horrendous. If all goes well i may build another closed deck with good internals and make a more serious motor.

what are you going to do with trans/diff/brakes? how much power are you looking to get? holset is deff more then rs trans will take. why not find a donor usdm wrx (02-03) and swapt it over a weekend. it might seem expensive but it will be cheaper then what you are trying to do plus you could sell off a bunch of crap. just think on the tt engine...........its old, like really old and outdated. complete rebuild isn't cheap and you probably wont get much benefit from it as you would from newer engine.

Depending on the trans/rear, i was hoping to get my hands on a R/RA trans with 4.44, but i might have to run a WRX trans for the time being. Like Slava said, that turbo will be the end of my stock gears.

Boost levels, just daily driving it around maybe 10-15, if i bring it to the track (not drag), maybe 20+

Yeh dude, definately on friday, ill be leaving like 7:30-8 and should be there around 11-12... And im bringing everything i have for subies haha, interested in a brand new turbo X-member with a wrx rack and swaybar? :lol: if so ill bring it

I got a mount from school and test fitted the Momo seat i got and its really tight in the car, as in i cant get in it with anything in my pockets, hell i have to wear shorts but boy does it hold ya. Im probably gonna sell it unless you want me to bring that too? haha
