Newbie asking for a little help and advice
Hi guys my name is Daz, im a Volvo forum owner (www.volvotuners.co.uk) and am on the verge on selling my Volvo V70 T5 R Replica (seen here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2611174453...84.m1558.l2649) as i really want to get back into the wacky world of subaru I have owned subaru in the past and always enjoyed them but the work i did on them was limited (as i was only young lol)
Now main question, i have been reading this thread: https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...onversion.html and want to do the same but with a 2.0 sport im buying from my mate, im getting it dead cheap and have the mechanical knowledge and spare cash to make it my own, so i have been looking at a spares/repairs WRX to use as a donor car
Now looking at the said thread in the above paragraph i was slightly confused on how much would be needed to change or is it the 1.6 that needed so much change to wiring??
I think what im asking is what will i need to change from the donor to the sport?? Any help would be massively appreciated and hope that we all get along just nicely
Oh by the way, i will also do a full details project thread on the conversion from start to finish as i know it always helps with forum promotion lol

Hi Daz
in all honesty if it was me I wouldnt go for a conversion mate
you would be probably cheaper and a hell of a lot less hassle to buy a impreza wrx or sti or turbo 2000
there are some pretty good ones going for very reasnoble prices
if you get a scoob speak to keith michaels about insurance as they are good for subaru insurance
nice volvo BTW

hahaha im 27 so far from pipe and slippers lol, only reason i have a volvo is cos i was handed down from my grandad in july 2011 and he died in march 2012 so its more sentimental than wanting one, but i miss my old scoobs just wayyyy too much
