Anyone with a gc8 with a WRX motor swap?
Just wondering if anyone in the bay area that have a wrx motor swapped in... post pics please! very interested in doing the same for my friend's car, but wanna get an idea of how much work it would be
It seems like LIC has a great estimated time rundown on their page, should give you some idea. I would like to hear from people that have swaps and have had them for a while - if there are any issues or sideeffects. Mine's a GM6 though.

To clarify, I am asking people with a swap questions since I do not have a swap myself.

I have a 97' OBS with wrx powa! If you have any questions you can PM me, but do not ask me anything really technical or I will go cross-eyed.
Oh yeah it's an i-speed/lic swap, and a lot of fun
