Your car makes me wish I had gotten an L rather than an RS. And that I had chosen to not rebuild my EJ205.
I regret rebuilding my ej205 because it's a long, arduous, nerve wracking, frustrating, and expensive process. But I beefed it up, so it's not all bad. The biggest problem has been remembering how everything went. I started the motor in school, so I took it apart in august, and am just now putting it back together. CP pistons, sti rods, king bearings, cross drilled crank. About $1600 in the shortblock, on top of the initial cost of the complete engine, crossmember, sway bar, and harness ($1500), then the UEL header (ebay unit, got it for free) up-pipe (used $100) downpipe (cnt-$280) and catback ($250 used SRS) makes the total cost about $3,730. About the same price as the car.Haha, it's almost the opposite....I wish I had an RS so I don't have to do the rear disc conversion....the Jesus bolts are gonna be really fun.
Why do you regret rebuilding your ej205?
Thanks!Been following along with this one, love the attention to detail on the smalls!
Thanks!one of the very few build threads i've read from top to bottom. i like.
Thanks!Awesome direction you're going!
Motivation for the rest of us!
I'm doing the same thing w/ mine, cleaning it up, getting rid of the unnecessary weight and cleaning up rust. It's been in WA state it's whole life but there's quite a bit of rust still, good work though!

How are you running an access port for your rs? Is it because its Wrx swapped?
love what youre doing. FYI I removed my front and rear bumper beams on my old car. I bet i lost like 50lbs total. Its crazy how little metal is in those jdm ones.
it's rally amazing.
Yeah, as long as I get every detail right.Well like you said, its not all bad because you'll have a fresh engine.....definitely worth it in the end.
If I can ever find a 91-94 turbo leggy at the junkyard...I'll take it's super awesome engine and rebuild the bottom end to have a spare block....and eventually do a 205/22t hybrid.
