The original LS1 to WRX project on here was cool. I love Subies so make me proud son! BTW, there hasn't been a successful LS1 to WRX swap that I've seen. Hurry up and finish and pave the way for the rest of us that want one lol.
Just one warning.. if your doors are shaved.. you might not be allowed on the Drag strip... should you crash and get knock out or disabled.. the workers have no way of getting to you.. most track will not allow you on unless there is a way to open the doors. At lease at most sanctioned NHRA or other sanctioned strips..
But keep us posted on the project !
