Errrm no. lol There are no blob STI wagon so dozens of us are working slowly towards making one, cal it evolution?? Mine is 40% done I suppose. I mountainbike EVERY weekend so it HAS to be a wagon, otherwise it would be an STI hatch... Tell me what else we need to do and I for on will 100% take it on board!! The seats and steering wheel were a 20 minute job mate, the wheels, cat, bumper, MAP, blah blah blah took a tad longer and cost a few pennies more..

What do you think it takes?

Engine, 6 speed box, running gear/suspension/brakes, the steering wheel would be the last thing on my list. In fact there's nothing worse than a wanabe, particulary when only doing half a job.

I know from personal experience how to do in stages and really as you are said its not cheap and easy...

From our point of view,we are want something different and our plan has been built fast wagon(from start we are want something like 350bhp wagon,which in our view has been great) and really if i would go again with JDM WRX wagon,yes everytime

You don't need STi engine,if time comes get your engine forged/strokered and you have nice engine for 500bhp+,about the gearbox yes you will need,but if you will not launch your gearbox on Santa Pod or Traffic lights,you should be OK with 350bhp,if times come PPG or 6 speed,we are went with PPG(if its worth,yes love the sound/noise)...

Good luck with your project Rez and enjoy making your wagon better

And to OP,when we are want last time STi wagon we are almost bought,but we are decide rather modified our one more.

Price asking for OP STi wagon is OK in my view,but second question if someone will pay those money is next question

Admittedly looks not too far from standard (have to look a bit closer for the mods) but idea is for it to eventually look like a standard STI saloon.. running 280bhp at mo but have VF35, STI injectors, 3-port, HRC pump, custom up-pipe to go on and have just fitted a wing mounted induction kit..

But yeh, still a WRX at heart!
im liking that, have you ever considered putting the front wings from the saloon on.
im sure it would make it look even more sti like.
