Think it was a gen2 that was on carsales for 30k or something stupid. It looked inbred and probably cost more to do than just buying a used gen4 anyway :Pardon: |

A few questions? What are you referring to when you're talking about "swapping the front end"? 1. If you're talking about swapping the panels, bars and the sort. Forget about it because they're completely different platforms - and if that's the case I'm going to pretend that I never ever came across this thread. 2. If you're talking about swapping engine, gearbox... well drive train and the sort, yes this is possible depending on what you plan on running? From memory (and don't quote me because I seldom visit), I think it was Az over at RSLC who has put an EZ30 into a GenII Outback, blower and all. There will be a few hurdles here and there, but if you're looking at doing motor and gearbox stuff, you might want to swing by RSLC and run it by them there. I don't think anybody knows better than those lot do. ... and very silly. |

sorry bud did'n mean to come across as a flame, just posting some pictures of what i have seen. my personal opinion if i had the money to do a conversion (which i dont coz i am a student..lol), i would prob go for a after market kit from overseas for the gen 2 or i would sell my rs and get a r32 gtr and go widebody r34 conversion..sexiness. anyway thats just my thought on it. thats just my 2c's peace this what i mean: ![]()

+1 ![]() We were all "n00bs" once too. The question Blaeven asked just took me back to the times of kids with N/As asking for God to bless them with horsepower with their aftermarket canon and podfilters, alike. :suicide2: |

by Blaeven on 26-05-08 01:14 PM ok, while i am 19, i would hardly consider myself a noob... i've done reasonably sensible modifications to my car and never expected anything big from an ej22... i'm not one of those "lets put a pod on the engine and draw in hot air and expect 5kw in the process" |

by CAZB4 on 26-05-08 01:40 PM Oh wait, my bad (dumbass) read the number plate, it IS the Bee R342, thats a beastly unit if i say so myself chaps...and i reckon strawberry faces (not sileighty, S13 arse, S15 face) looks very sweet, but only when they have a mild appearance, wild lebanese riveted on bodykits of URAS snowplows look awful. |
