That's not what we were discussing. I said a TS would be a good platform for an STi swap because it'd yield a unique car, but that it'd be expensive. You said that swapping a WRX drivetrain would be a lot cheaper. Then we argued about whether or not a WRX swap into a TS is worth the money, not about swaps in general.
Would you swap a 4.6L V8 into a 6 cyl Mustang? No, just buy a GT. Would you swap an EVO motor into a base Lancer? No, just buy an EVO. Likewise, don't swap a WRX motor into a TS. If you can buy it from the factory, don't do the swap! It's a huge waste of money.
And if there's anyone that can speak to that point, it's me. My "bugeye STi" is no where near unique enough to make up for the unnecessary $30,000 I've spent on it. I could have just purchased a Porsche Turbo at this point... it would be as fast, but would still have a damn warranty and not need rebuilding once a year.
