    Right you are Todd :D

    As far as I know my car was the first SVX with a hydraulic clutch setup (another guy had done it with a cable clutch). I did most of this stuff in my garage back when I lived with my parents, using a five speed from a 98 Legacy. It worked pretty well, but then I chewed up one of the half shafts coming out of the rear differential.

    At that point I decided I wanted an even weirder car, so I started looking around for a JDM WRX STi six speed. The idea was to get a gearbox that was strong, even though I don't really need six speeds. When a deal arose, I took it and then spent a month or two installing the six speed as well as an R180 rear differential and associated half shafts. I got some tranny crossmember problems cleared up in January and then put a new exhaust in. It still has some issues but it is pretty reliable and fun...

    So, that's the story [​IMG] <font size="1"><- sorry, I just love this little guy</font id="size1">

    Oh, and Substeroo...now I have that **** song stuck in my head! :( :):)

    Hey thanks :D It's straight offroad style to be sure!

    Dunno about any rallying; kinda scary taking turns on 29" tires and no swaybars! haha

    Android, did I see you over by the Quarry about a month ago? I gave someone a thumbs up and then he took off and I tried to keep up when he turned on to 280 south but my gear ratio sucks so I got whooped. Nice car either way!:)

    I don't think that was me. Whenever I try to take off I grind second gear and run into trees. In some circles thats cool though.
