Well after a few a bit of indecision I have made a decision

The engine and gearbox will be coming out of the 4 door and going away for a refresh and will then be bolted back in the 4 door and the front mounted GT30R fitted as this is the quickest cheapest option and means the car will be up and running for next spring.

Unlike me I have been buying and selling a few bits

Several pieces of laminate flooring and some dried grass... oh and some metal things...

Gearbox shafts?

Sort of they are through axels to replace the standard ones that tend to be the weak link in R180 shafts. Same type as run by Mr Forrest and mad hammer who both run over 700 on them with no breakages so far so should be prefect for my mear 500/500ish :boldblue:

CV's break more often than the shafts might be worth thinking about them as well :thumbup:

Have plenty spare shafts....... with 500/500 and my sympethatic style I recon I am safe enough. main thing is the through shaft won't break again :P

I am to pikey to buy the uprated shafts so I just keep loads of spare standard R180 shafts lol. Only takes 10 mins to change one.

Okay finally a plan. Engine is coming out next month for a refresh, the PPG is getting built into an r180 DCCD

Then I only have to

Remove engine and box

Install engine and swap drivetrain out for complete r180

Install the cage and door bars

Install fuel set up

Install firewall

Install reversed inlet manifold and modify pipe work

Install new turbo which will be SC46

Buy syvecs

Get the cat MOT'd

Get new rotors and pads for the AP's

Install rear brembos

Assist in the painting of the car (thankfully this is already paid for) in memory

of the RB5 the car will be going steel blue (rb5 grey)

Other thing I have to do is work to raise the money to pay for all this :D

Will be looking to mount my fuel cell as low down as possible.

Problem is the Anti roll bar is in the way. I was wondering is it possible to have custom anti roll bars

Made?

Yes same mk5 gti and yes a year is a record. Has to be the best all round everyday car I have had. Just a set of 18" BBS wheels, few handling mods and were remap coming up shortly.

Aim is to have the impreza going at high 400s by the end of the year :)
