    on the forums they say it has large tranny problems\

    trannys get hot easily. and wheel bearing s go out.
    and breaks werent upgraded for the heavy ness, so rotors warp often.

    X2! ...you'll NEVER EVER find parts for it and when you do they will be probably be more expensive than a new STI's. I've seen numerous SVX's sitting at shops for 6 months to over a year just because a certain part isn't available.

    Take the body and strip down to just the necessities you need then put in an STI power AND drive train...suspension too while you're at it!

    They're fun cars, like little spaceships. Great competition for nonturbo 300ZXs and RX-7s but no match for anything boosted. There's plenty of room in the engine bay for an EJ20 but still no one in America has done the swap yet. There might be one locally getting that swap done within the next year or so.

    5spd swaps are pretty common, although the cars automatic is geared for the autobahn. Drivetrain from any Impreza bolts up, you'd probably need new motor mounts for an EJ motor and definately a custom turbo manifold. The guy I know contemplating a swap has already dropped an EJ into his car to check sizes and he says it'll fit fine but you'll need to relocate the turbo to be in front of the motor instead of on the backside or there would be no place to route a DP.
