I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

A stock 2.5 04 sti is about 240-260hp at the 4 wheels so a 2wd version probably is about 280. The boxter looks like a better fit for the suby waterpumper and all the suspension is much newer and later technology. I have a boxter cable shifter though and the mr2 shifter seems like a much cleaner mechanism to me. Course the stock shifter already works and plastic doesn't rust.
Actually Jake would probably make a great suby motor builder. Everyone knows it takes close attention to detail to build a good motor and the suby does have some challenges if it is entended to be a performance motor at 7k. The stock turbo motors pretty much run out of steam at 6500. |
