I was wondering if its possible to convert the old subaru impreza L's to RS's meaning hood, grill and front bumper? They look very similar i was wondering if all the mounting points would be the same.

 

yea foolio... its a breeze. the hard part is finding the RS equipment to swap over onto your car.

if we ever get a set of good coilovers (tein type RA's ) ill be able to sell you our RS suspension

i have a maroon RS wing i can sell you too.

 

Thanks, I'm a complete noob to subaru world im more of a toyota guy but awd seems like a lot of fun. I'd take the rs wing but I don't need the RS suspension. My first mods are going to be suspension meaning Tein's. Thanks for the help.

 

Then you need to do a motor swap!

 

ahh yes tein's best suspension money can buy
i have their coilovers on both my cars and they drive like no other RA on the scoob and SS on the civic now if i could rig some to my go cart

 

I am doing that right now. Of course it helps that I work for a Subaru dealership

You need:
RS (or any 97-01) headlamps
97-01 grille
97-01 bumper beam (Subaru sells a lightweight one for $60)
Front bumper cover (99-01 98 had small foglamps)
Foglamps or STi covers
Bumper turn signals
Bumper grills
Hood (Subaru sells an aluminium one for $450)
Hood vents
Hood scoop


The RS is slightly modeled after the version V.

Personally I am converting to a Version III.

 

Version III

 

Thanks for that list man helps me out alot

 

Dude, Kyle, I fucking love you

good to know Im not the only one planning on doing this

 

if you're looking for a swap later i have a 99 engine/tranny/ecu/wiring sitting around

and possibly in the next 4 months, a 2k1 motor/tranny/ecu/wiring
