    thats a long word lol

    so.... i have a 98 impreza L 2 door that i picked up for cheap from a fellow member, Its an auto trans.

    I also have a 95 impreza L 4 door manual, race car.

    the 98 would need way too much body work even to be a race car, so the plan is to strip the 98 of all the parts we can use on the 95 as spares. Thats where my question comes in.... what parts can be used off the auto and will work on the manual? axles, driveshaft, rear dif, knuckles, brakes, suspension bits?

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Axles = yes
    Driveshaft = No
    Rear Diff = No 95MT=3.9 98AT=4.11
    Suspension stuff should all fit together

    In addition to this the brake and knuckles should be identical. So those would make good spares. You might also think about harvesting bushings and mounts as well. control arm bushings and motor mounts with fewer miles might be nice. Also some body pieces like the upper core support and bumper beams might be good replacement parts.
