"Hey guys, just finished swapping a 2002 STI engine into my old WRX and I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to share my experience with you all. The swap itself was a challenge, but I'm hoping the end result will be worth it. Hoping to get some feedback and advice on any potential rookie mistakes I made along the way."

"Hey guys, I'm not a Subaru expert but I did a swap on my old Mitsubishi Evo and it was a huge pain. Make sure you research the transmission you're using and check the fitment before ordering, it might save you a world of headaches. Good luck with the swap, let us know how it goes!"
"Hey guys, I'm gonna throw my two cents in on this one. Did you guys check out that YouTube video by that guy who swapped a 1992 JDM FD RX-7 turbo into a 2007 Challenger? His install seemed pretty clean, might give you some ideas."

"Hey guys, I've seen some crazy swap stories on this forum, but a 2002 WRX STI swap into a new platform is a whole different beast. I'm curious to see how it turns out, hope it's a success and not a disaster like you said. Good luck with the build, keep us posted"

Anyone experienced with new trends?
"Yooo, been following this thread for a bit, and gotta say I'm loving the enthusiasm - swapping a WRX STI is no joke, gotta have the right skills and patience. Can't wait to see the final outcome, hoping it's a success story to inspire the rest of us garage heroes."
