    Please tell me you still have the RS. Those things are gems.

    I had to get rid of the RS about a year ago.

    Haha, I was gonna say, that Miata looks a little worse for wear.

    The Subaru on the other hand is awesome! I'd love to have a WRX swapped 2.5RS, heck I'd take a stock one if I could find one thats clean and reasonably priced. They are all 8-10K around here, and almost as rare as Vehicri.

    haha the miata was when I was a very poor teen, I just pieced together what I could, I know it was rough. I am planning on building another 2.5rs but this time I want to do a full STI swap in it. Its pretty much bolt on except for the wiring.

    That Suby was sweet! I always wanted an RS with the 2.5 swap. Loved the look of the 2dr's, don't know why Subaru wouldn't have made them more powerful from the factory over here. That RX7 looked like a sweet project, sucks you never got around to finishing it. Can't wait to see what you do with the VX, because it looks like the skills have improved each time!

    Love, It's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.... but, LUST.... that's a GC8, heh. Saw one yesterday on my way home from work. The elusive green with gold wheels. Unicorn if I'd ever seen one.

    Funny, I was talking the other day with some friends. We were saying we should all chip in and buy the VX at the dealership nearby. Pick up a wrecked STi from any number of sellers (ya, there are TONS out there), and start our mind boggling FULL SWAP with the VX.

    7 of us, all wrench turners, 2 having done MANY swaps, and all willing to throw in to the monetary and blood/sweat/tears pot.. Even have big support from 2 local renowned tuner shops (they love me since I supply them with game swag for their track days and open houses, heh). One of those projects you expect to NEVER get finished due to fabbing and modifications.... essentially, looking at a stage 3 STi with a VX body. Seen a FULL STi engine/drivetrain/electrical swap on a Prelude, and it just gets ya thinking....

    Yes, we were having drinks when we were talking about this, heh.
