How has it lost the rigidity? That car is way more rigid than any stock Subaru will ever be.

Shitty ecnobox suspension?????

What type of suspension does the Subaru have that makes it so great?

Although I saw this around when you posted it, I'm just getting now to commenting on it. Nice job. Glad to see some unique stuff. Impressed by the bodywork btw considering all that needed to be done. This thread has made its away around several Subaru forums a good bit too.

i think your m0ms fitment is kinda off .

dude this guy made this can you even think of what to start with to build one ?
why do people comment on this dumb *** stuff im 99% sure that he knows its off
you need to keep bolting on you parts ok and keep your absolutely lameass comments to yourself i had to request a password reset just to tell you this ok.
fitment is off in your head man

and this is so sweet i hope to see it at the luskville dragway this summer
peace yo have fun !

Well Scoobie.. A couple things.. First, It will be faster than a stock WRX because it is lighter than a stock WRX..

Secondly.. You dont know what you are talking about.. At all.. So you should do a little bit of STFU..

The WRX 5 speeds aren't the strongest, but they wont automatically break when you launch either.. If you dont know how the Eff to drive, sure you can nuke it pretty easily...

For reference.. I have a FULL WEIGHT 2005 Sportwagon that traps mid 119's with et's in the high 11's ON THE STOCK 5 SPEED. WITH a 6 puck cerametalic hard core clutch on a lightweight flywheel..

Currently makes 409 WHP.

Look me up on NASIOC..

To the OP! Im not a HONDUH fan, only joined to shoot down an ignorant Subaru comment.. But nice work!!! A+++ for sleeper status..

If you duplicated my setup you could probably nail mid 11 second passes no sweat!

BenGSX

God you're dumb.. This is why I hate all honduh's / Honda BOyyzzzzzz..

So that particular civic had a suspension setup for MAXIMUM manufacturing cheapness.. Crap trailing arm rig...

That subaru has a double wishbone up front with a very sophisticated multi-link out back..

Its like comparing an Ox cart to a Ferrari..

If ONLY HONDA BOYZZZZ would freaking do a little research / EDUCATE themselves before they speak the world would be a better place.

nice job... this would be a perfect fix up n flip project as well if you were into that
i like the work ... looks perfect in all flat IMO
keep it up
i'd totally do something like this but with an eclipse body if i had an empty garage

Does Subaru use double wishbone up front?

flyjum

every honda/acura except the NSX has **** suspension stock.... even the ridgeline.

just look at the geometry, the wheel hop, look at the cheaply made parts, lack of adjustment, needing new bushings every 20k miles, etc etc.

a kia rio has more to it then most honda's


Subaru is setup to run rough *** dirt roads for 100k miles with no problems

OUT OF CONTROL!!!

civek97

Please show me a SINGLE mechanical piece on that car that came from Honda. Don't worry...I'll wait...

Cibaru

Please guy's, be civilized, this is not the place, this is a build thread!

ilikethetwisties

i love it!!! this is the best project since i saw a 4g63 get shoved into a hatch! awesome project, will watch for updates!

civek97

I have to be honest with you: I think the way you've handled the haters and people trying to take away from your project is not only courteous but downright classy. You very easily could've retaliated the bashing (Lord knows, I would have), but somebody clearly raised you well. If I needed work done or had a project and lived near you, I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to put down my hard-earned money to support you or your father's business. It's obvious that you a) know how to treat people, and b) value customer service, even when you're not even servicing a customer. That's something you just can't teach some of these "businesses". So thank you.

Cibaru

civek97 Thanks you!

Cibaru,

what did you use to channel the air from the scoop to the tmic?

Cibaru

xenonkuraz I need to install the orignal one from the Subaru!

man ur an idiot u obviosly dont c the point here... any one could go buy an AWD or w.e hthey want ...and yes he coulda done a better body stle that YOU MIGHT have like but HE DIDNT LIKE ... hel ikes that way a civic looks and that what he wants ... the point of this is that he could pull beside uu and ull think haa another civic and then when the light turns green all u c is hiss **** ... what u are saying is well if u can affored an oudi then u can afford a benz why not get the benz,.... ever thought that they might like the oudi bettter then the benz???? instead of saying i woulda done that instead.. tell him how sick his work is... and if u think ur so great then how about you post you project and show us what you got!

dandaman15

If you dont know what you are talking about just dont say anything. The civic has double wish bone or Double A-Arm in the front and the back. It is not really cheap at all. Maybe YOU do some research before posting next time.

Seriously, I think Civics have better suspension than any other compacts. At least the ones we have, I don't know much about the new ones.

EF9_TryMe

SisterFister

lot of haters but i love it bro

You really missed what happend didnt you. At the end of the day no matter how you look at it hes driving a WRX with a civic body. Not only did he do something different just for himself, he did it well. Nothing innovative ever came from doing the same old ****.
