Sam, i have a set of coilovers that will suit the rex and are firm enough to slide with. They have only done about 4000km since new. I took them off the car as it was too uncomfortable to drive on the street. If your interested, PM me.

hey brad i might be interested ill let u know,

the wrx isnt registered coz it has been imported as a race/rally car only, they can be registered as rally veichles tho,

i dont think the gearboxes will last to long but they shouldnt be that expencive as jap wholesalers have heaps of bits and bobs,

i have a few vids of me slydn it through the bush in awd and will try and upload them to youtube soon :laugh:

nice to see something different :)

what are you going to do about the gearbox?

slamming gears, clutch kicks.. the wrx gearbox won't like that at all.

dogbox ftw!

Should be alright for a while tho, I'd assume that running rwd would be less strenuous on the box :P

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
