    Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy a full sti swap from an 05-07 or decent sti parts car? Life situation significantly improved and i think i'll be buying exactly what my fastback will be getting this year (05-07 sti 5x114.3 with or without dcct)

    Parts needed if it helps:
    Full front and rear subframes to knuckles
    Engine, trans, driveshaft, ecu
    Brakes not necessarily needed

    Pretty sure the 04 was also 2.5.

    Yes, all USDM STis are 2.5l

    Oak Leaf, for sure.

    If you have a GD you are swapping, a 07 STI driveline would be the best.

    07 STi has different gear ratios and a better rear diff.

    Also 5x114 is for sure an advantage over the 04 5x100, as they have better bearings and don't have pad knockback issues.

    It's for my 71 fastback not the 07 wrx. But that's good to know

    No, he's got an old VW that was also known as a fastback. Should be sweet!
