Midnight21 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Afternoon folks .....quick question?? Needing a lot of parts for a friends project...and wondered if a Sport and Wrx are interchangeable ie. struts, doors,wings? Engine is blown on the Sport but can get it quite cheap if I can swap parts Cheers in advance Cathy Link to comment
badbaz Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Mmmmmmm..... doors and panels etc will be the same but not sure about the suspension. LOL Link to comment
stum450n Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The body and interior are interchangeable but the suspension, brakes, engine etc aren't. Hope that helps Link to comment
Midnight21 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Cool thanks it's the brakes and suspension that's needed too Link to comment
geosub Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My sister had broken springs on her blobeye sport and its got my bugeye wrx springs on it now p.s got blob wrx springs for back and they were different thats why we tried my bug ones Link to comment
Midnight21 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 I will just have to try them and see...think the car worth it for the price anyway lol....seemingly some sports can be fitted with wrx struts I'll post up my finding Link to comment

Midnight21 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 They'll all fit but the Sport struts and springs make the car sit a lot higher But can swap springs to lower it maybe? lol Link to comment
stum450n Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 But can swap springs to lower it maybe? lol In theory yes. Will be slightly higher but not by much Link to comment
scooby222 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 just to clear up my confusion Cathy, your going to stick suspension brakes and engine from a rotten bodied wrx into a sound sport with a blown engine? should work ok with a bit of work - just make sure youve the right combo of diffs/gearbox ratio thingys does this mean your going to be Cathy 4 scoobs?

Midnight21 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Read the first post Dave parts are to go into a project WRX and was hoping parts from a sport would fit lol not mine I may add .... lol Edited May 3, 2011 by Midnight21 Link to comment
scooby222 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 sorry Cathy, i understand now ive removed the fork from my knee..... Link to comment
camcq Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) everything will fit straight over. however the brakes are only single pots front and drums on the rear. then theres the issue of the sport struts being softer for comfort. wrx are stiffer for handling and gas filled. the sport springs are also higher than wrx and also softer. so use the shockies/struts with wrx springs to keep the height. and i doubt the box and diff will be used from the sport. as there built different, as turbo has a slave clutch , sport has a cable. also sure the final drive ratio on the sport is 3.9 plus if swapping over to the sport then the front cross member is different. no rear anti roll bar. and no wires for the turbo system.
