Please help - looking for st205 conversion info. Options

[silverlude]

Ok, let it begin.

First of all - yes, I am looking for info to do a st205 conversion. Yes, I have searched and cannot find much useful info.

I don't want to waste anyone's time with this same old topic, so if you don't want to help, please hit the back button on your browser now. Also, if you have no real useful info, please do not post such things as "why don't you just import?" "why don't you just buy a DSM/5th gen All-Trac/EVO/WRX/VR-4...?" "It's not worth the time/money..." etc.

Bottom line is we have time/car/money and are looking for some great fun.

What I am looking for is USEFUL info on the conversion. Either access to someone who has done it before or someone who knows just what it is going to take.

We are also looking for connections to get some major parts. Anyone with personal experience getting clips, or possibly full parts-only cars from Japan or UK would be an asset.

Thanks in advance.

We're getting pretty stoked to get this going.

We are prepared for about $7-9k to get her going and then a perpetual fund to keep her moving.

I can imagine finding all the little parts would be a bit tricky. I'll have to make friends with some people in the UK pretty quick.

We're seriously not expecting to be done within 6 months at best. if it takes a couple years, we're on board.

We've been discussing it for the last 2 years, and finally have the OK from the wifes, and the money for upfront costs.

While I'm thinking of it... did you have to change anything on the rear strut bars or suspension arms, or did they hook right up to the axle carriers from the GT4?

Thanks again for your help.
