Only if seagull the cheeky bugger doesnt get it right

The wait for the build and having to drive a crummydore in the meantime is killing me!!

Was thinking more along these lines

Until the auto breaks at any rate, not to worry, seagull is looking for a 6spd for later on.

J have you considered the legalities for the swap?

That was the major thing that held me back from doing my swap. The wiring and ecu trickery is not very hard at all.

It's the lack of some functionality you have to put up with if retaining the oem ecu (cruise and abs) and the engineering signoff required for the structural modifications to the chassis and gearbox mounting points to make it work

Look into it before you go any further and realize you've just turned your street car into a paper weight cos it can't be registered. (Exaggerating but you know what I mean, I'm sure)

Are the mount points different....dont recall reading about this issue on my interweb searches....crap!!

Perhaps the crazy donk needs to go in a 2008 sti manual hatch I have seen......
Swap the stock sti motor into the libb and put crazy motor in the manual car....now there is an idea!
Not nearly as original but full mid range potential can then be realised.

Thinking, thinking.....

Yeah I mentioned this a few times on here including my own thread and the long ass info list I sent you a few months ago via pm when you requested it...

Definitely different mount points

You *could* probably get away with modding the crossmember but even then this is structural and will require signoff

No standard crossmember will fit straight on (neither the auto one nor a 6 speed or even 5 speed manual one).

Hate to say it but if manual is what you want then the wrx Sti is a better bet. That or buy a facelift manual lib.

Were you planning on keeping your quad avcs heads / ecu with the built motor?


Edit - also what happened to that built auto you were working on?? If you're not using it ill be keen so let me know..

Cheers
