I tend to disagree with the status quo and say that its possible to build a seriously bad WRX and not have to start with an STi, just takes time, careful part selection, and money...
Of course it's possible to build an awesome WRX if you have time and money. Step one, spend the time and money swapping an STi motor, transmission, suspension, and hubs/brakes into a WRX. Step two... um, wait, that's pretty much it... unless you're going to race it... then start welding reinforcements to all the places that the WRX is missing them, and replace all the control arms, bushings, etc as well.

Add turbo/intercooler/fuel system to taste.
