are you replacing drive train parts also? cause the sti is much more heavy duty...i don't know how the wrx's drive train will take that much more horsepower....and how much lighter is the wrx than the sti?

I'm planning on doing a Ver 6 transplant to my MY00 RS. But I am doing a full front clip w/ rear diff. Like Boneamania said, you'll need the beefier drive train to handle the hp. Of course you can do the Eurospec STI which is only 260hp and your drive train can probably handle that( I would suggest clutch replacement though).
