The sweet spot is STi, Subaru That is.

Update: Got a 95 GT for $700 that runs perfectly. No rust except for the brakes which is expected. Coupe, not hatch. A little bleh it's not the hatch because then I don't have that spoiler that adds 10hp per ft-ib of down force yknow? Huehue. Will update probably under builds with progress. Time to learn to weld!

Meanwhile in Ireland....

That's less than $5,000!

Structural vehicle fabrication isn't to time to learn to weld. Structural vehicle fabrication is for when you've already learned to weld and have been doing so for a while. Sheet metal is so hard to weld for a beginner.

I would say so since parts are a lot more available and then engine was offered in both the MR2 and 185 so it has a decent amount of aftermarket support (if you want to stick with the gen2)

I figured, I was just messing about. Trying to get ahold of Prime Performance (PrimeMR2) in NJ to see if they can do the fab. No replies all day.

So, in conclusion.

GT4 now = No.

GT4 clip and welding, assuming you had the skills or money = Feasible, but can be lengthy and/or costly.

Just slam a 3SGTE and new clutch in, run the FWD like a pro until deciding AWD would be neat = Very doable within a modest price range.

Roger dodger. I'm sure you can tell I'm like a baby with plastic tools. I'm still learning the block goes in the square hole and the sphere in the round one. Replacing a caliper today, the previous owner snapped the bleed valve in half. Woo.

Thank you gentlemen, and hopefully I'll have a FWD driveable 3SGTE before I visit family for the holidays.

I'll post updates under My Project.

You can usually weld a nut to the broken bleeder and get it out, the heat shocks the threads and they'll turn right out most times. Usually not worth the hassle if a reman caliper is readily available.
