alright i havent updated this in quite sometime. heres a subframe I'm just about done with that i've made a few changes to. I still havent made any kind of splashguard for it since I ordered the wrong dzus and havent gotten around to buying a longer length. But thought i post it, sorry for the mess on the table but subframe is still bolted down to the table.

How much you asking for one. I wouldn't mind running one on my wagon.

I dont think I can put how much since im not a vendor, not sure how it works on i-club but i know on other sites thats how it is. But pricing is in the ball park of the m1 or the rpm, which the rpm isnt sold anymore and i head rumors of the m1 not being sold either. It looks simple, and in theory it is but it takes a lot of time to hand notch each piece and get it to fit snug. Then tig weld every little joint. So a lot goes into these little f**kers, thats when I take out a beer to relax and tig away.
As far as the legacy wagons the location of mounting points might be different, id have to get under one and place the subframe up there to see. If not I'd have to make one from scratch. My jig can do the impreza of course but i can also set it up to do foresters as well with using different front mounting holes and using spacers on some of my mounting points.

only thread I found on m1 and rpm braces was a mess on nasioc.
I want one of these in cherry blossom, white or black... or raw....haaa.
Looks like a real quality piece.

Putting together some subframes today and thought I'd show a pic of a joint since you cant see what it looks like before it welded. I try and get a "water tight" seal on my joints, thought this one would be a good example since theres 2 pieces of tubing that connect at one mounting point.
