If you could......

[bakergtt]

If you could do what you wanted to a BD what would you to do it?

Using the stock engine, drivetrain, and body but being able to mod them, I want to know what would everyones idea of the dream BD be.

Engine?
Drivetrain?
Suspension?
Interior?
Exterior?
Exhaust?

Let me hear your ideas

Keeping the engine, drivetrain, and body stock but being able to mod them, I want to know what would everyones idea of the dream BD be.

I don't get it. How can you keep something stock, but mod it?
As soon as you mod, it's not stock??? :?

[bakergtt]

OK sorry reword using stock components

[Reason]

Gut it and stuff 500HP under the hood and make it handle as if it where on rails?

Um? I'd do an H6 swap, no turbo, but completely built up. Keep the outside all stock (except an outback hood with scoop), with some STi BBS wheels (gold), obviously tons of stopping power, and a 6spd tranny. Gut the interior, 4 racing seats (the rear easily removable) and with an easy to attach flat bed in the back for when I'd want to transport. It'd be an economic and useful rally car :twisted:

LIFT it.



The higher, the better.

[bakergtt]

Ok to make things clear on the stock issue. No swaps to engine and tranny but can mod them.

[phi11]

Can I put the engine in the rear?

Haha, I'd do something similar, but with twincharging, and a 3.3l H6 and not a pansy 3.0. ;)

Or you could do a EZ30R swap and stick two turbos on it, put a 6 speed in it, and call it an 'HR4'. ;)

tube frame chassis, fiberglass body, 2.2 with 2.5 heads and cams and EM mounted in the back seat powering the rear wheels with a fwd trans. Enough $ to properly sort the suspension and brakes, and cover the entire inside with leather, save for the seats.
