Devil Fish Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 always wanted to to do that to a manta (impreza base) awesome work chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 the impreza base manta would work but may need to add 400 body kit to cover wider wheel base of subaru floorpan.. if you can find damaged subaru and you allready have a manta be cheap conversion to do if doing yourself..took about 400 hours with the firenza.

gary6303 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 did you drive car before the rebuild johno, because moving the engine back is gonna make this car handle well, you gonna use the standard pedalbox but with remote servo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
