Lift it to rally height with a Forester Suspension and slap some all-terrains on there. With the EG's short overhangs, it should be fun!

You know.. although initially I thought it would've been just a Subaru engine swap into a Honda, this guy did it differently (depending on which way you look at it)

Holy smokes. Uber fab skills, down to the fenderwork

Funny I should say this but I think a K24A2 would actually feel right at home in a FWD GC8 chassis.. For N/A purposes anyway. Damn EJ18 has no ***** whatsoever, no VVT or such. hehe.

Maad props to the Canadian guy though!

I give this guy my 5 thumbs up and full credits for him for being creative but wont this still be considered a Subaru WRX from an Insurer's Point of View based on the VIN #. Anyways, this is like the Iceland GC with the SR20DET thats being purposely used for drifting.
