Long time readers of the Vorshlag forum will remember this FrankenSubie project<\/a>, which we started documenting in 2009<\/a>. A friend of the shop Paul bought this 1995 Impreza “L” FWD 2 door automatic back then. It was merged with a wrecked 2007 STI’s full AWD drivetrain swap. Then a built 2004 STi 2.5L turbo motor, custom flares, remote reservoir monotubes, big tires, custom interior mods (2007 dash, 1999 RS doors), and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our last update on this Forum Build Thread<\/a> was in 2014, when the car left Vorshlag’s North Plano shop (3 shops ago!) after we had fabricated some items and installed the coolers and oil plumbing to this GC. The latest updat<\/a>e covers the work after it went to COBB Tuning Plano, then back to Vorshlag, then to Paul’s home garage for the next steps. It was “finished” enough to run at a few autocross \/ Pro Solo events in 2016-17, then went back under the knife for some updates before it would be finished enough for paint…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some time passed and “life got in the way”, but in 2020 with the help of some friends, was resumed again, and we have documented the latest updates<\/a> to the suspension (drop spindles and custom rear subframe), gutted the doors (partially), and more in this forum post<\/a>. We will continue to push to make sure this lightweight, 2 door GC Subaru gets back on track and to an autocross course soon. Stay tuned for more, but you can read the “6 year catch up post”<\/a> starting here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
