I’m very excited to hear that your plans with the vb is a general approach. It’ll be very useful for us building our road cars with 10% sport use. Appreciate yall!
Swaps are still super popular here in California and will be forever... But dash swaps will be the primary method from now on. Mine is a dash swap, its a lot more work but a lot less cost too. There are no changes in Engine update laws, just too many people try to cut corners and wind up with issues.
I’m a California resident with a 02 GD wrx and was planning to put in a 04-07 GD sti engine in my car (in the process of doing transmission, diff, suspension now) and then getting it BAR’d? What’s a dash swap? What are my options now? Are other companies like wiring specialities (or someone else) still building harnesses that can be used in a BAR swap?
@twodollargarage Dash swaps are like putting an 04 STI drivetrain/dash/harness into a 1998 Impreza type deal. Yours is a lot simpler, you just take the wiring harness/gauge cluster/dbw pedal/etc. from the STI and put it in since its the same chassis.
Aboyt going in and wrenching/experimenting on cars. I think the primary hesitation comes from most of us wanting to work on the daily/only vehicle. I was like that until I got my daughter her Baja. I learned so much by working on it to get it running that now im working on tearing apart an engine for a 95 WRX. Which made me realize why its taken me 10 years to do the swap on my GC. I was afraid to screw it up. But thats going to be next summer's project.
Driver's Inherently Protecting the Driver's side in a crash: (TV Show) Canada's Worst Driver had a challenge called "eye of the needle" - driving a car through a narrow arch - the contestants consistently hit the right side of the arch. Fun fact: the passenger in the car was the person who nominated the contestant. To test the theory that drivers inherently protect themselves, the show tried the challenge with a RHD car...and sure enough, virtually all of the hits were on the left side of the car!

Thanks for watching and great comment. I too suffer from the fear of screwing something up. The 95 WRX sounds like a very fun project!
Stay Tuned!
Guilty of buying one of those Blackfriday Grimmspeed turbos :x
Ha! You are in good company :-)
Lolol
Same!! My Christmas gift to myself. The only buyer's remorse I have is not going for the bb500, but that jb400 was just sooooo cheap.
