What's your s/n on SF?[/QUOTE]
-ze-ro-re-call- (no dashes) but I'm never on there any more , but i do love it as a technical resource.[/QUOTE]

yeah the deals on parts, and the rare troubleshooting, I'm looking for something new and fun. I have 400+hp and she is fun but she rarly gets driven< I want something I can throw around beat, and mod for fun and not worry about getting a door ding in the parking lot...LOL
I think a 2009 STI motor would make this thing scream!!! But I'm willing to spend $ on making it 400..LOL

BoostJunkie · 04-19-2011, 07:28 PM

Yeah I agree, I try to drive mine quite a bit(as much as possible)

Crashoverride · 04-20-2011, 01:00 PM

I use to but it still in the garage..LOL

Lol my wife hates it to, but because of the giant money pit that it is, and all the time I spend working on it

I just found out something interesting. It turns out that the FB uses the same bellhousing pattern as the EJ and EZ. It's not really very surprising, I suppose, considering how much Subaru loves to raid the parts bin.

Yeah she calls mine a money pit too....But I love driving it and the attention it gets, hell I get stopped at lights, gas stations, movie theaters, stores.... basicly everywhere I go. I get the lame questions all the time, but i do get some educated people asking questions every now and again. LOL

Crashoverride · 04-21-2011, 12:36 PM

I just want a strong transmission that can handle power and not break. and a good stock motor that can be modded and tuned and not break.

Not sure this new tranny, but boxer engine is really picky, so if you gonna boost it I would recommend do internal first. Cuz boxer engine (specially EJ) had problem w crank bearing wearing out fast when put bigger turbo.

The EJ25 is notorious for having ringland issues. I know, because it keeps me up at night. With that said, I absolutely love the motor. Hahah..

The only motor I'd ever think of throwing into the FR-S would be a destroked EJ25. : /

Gonna try to not sound like a retard on this one :P but can anyone think of a good v8 or v6 engine that could most likely fit in the FRS, without defeating the entire idea of the car?
