Not sure about engine management yet hadn't thought that far ahead yet are subaru ecu's interchangeable between models? could possibly use a later model type or an sti.

Yeah gonna cut tosion bars out strenghten the chassis in the center and use a uniball set up from MBT which will do away with torsion bars.

Ive offered the header up to the engine and it doesnt seem to hang much lower than the sump so think ile see how it goes on the trial build.

ECUs seem to be interchangable but only if same year or very close... ie 93-96, 97-98 etc etc If you have a 97 this is probably one of the worst to go for as there isn't that much aftermarket support or tuning options, I think you will have to go aftermarket...

Got started mocking the bug up over the past month.

Chopped my fire wall out.

Mounted 944 arms.

Built up a motor and gearbox to get all mountings and body mods sorted.

My new 996 17x9's

engine management

if you're looking for an ecu go the nasioc.com forums and search there, you'll definately find something. I've put a 1998 ej22 in my 69 bus and there are a few things you need to do to trick the OBD2 computer, but its not too difficult.
