Like many things on this forum I understand how that could have been misunderstood. The reason for the swap isnt because everyone has an sti, because none of us do. It also had nothing to do with street racing, because we dont do that either. Its merely because he is a fellow wrenchhead and car enthusiast. We have all been talking about getting into autoX and he has done some racing before and figured he would like to jump back into it. He has been looking for another car and I merely brought up the idea "hey why dont you just do a swap on the wagon". So thats how it started, to see if he can have a cool modded wagon that he already likes for a decent price. and as this thread has proven its not cost effective. so the idea was throw out way back at post 10.
