Ever wonder what a Justy mated with a WRX would be like?

ima decent welder. def not the best but those shock towers make me kinda nervous.

Terrifying. I'd rather see the donor WRX with the Justy's drivetrain.

Is it just the nervous engineer in me, or does anyone else think the shock mount looks exciting as well?

If by 'exciting' you mean 'as deadly as angry flare carrying rattlesnakes in a pit full of gasoline' then yeah. One good 'yump' and the dump truck stance will be more like something off the cover of 'Lowrider' mag.

I like it, it just needs a few things

1) change the cage around a little.

2) reinforce the suspension mounts.

3) add box flares.

If it were local I would buy it for a dollar. (not $5800 though)

all that "cage"work and he didn't tie it into the "new" rear strut/shock towers he built?

I would be afraid to drive that onto a trailer

Uh, if he runs over a #2 pencil the tires will rip those fenders right off. Holy no-tire-clearance Batman!

What come on?

Don't you know booger welds are tha strongest evar!

I've heard this particular swap mentioned as a potential class killer in SCCA Street Mod.

But this execution is not the answer.

someone should tell him that just because he does a WRX drivetrain swap, it doesn't mean he has to use STi- sized wheels and tires.

Those shock towers need lots and lots of beefing up but I don't see anything wrong with mounting the harnesses to the roof. Isn't that the best position from a safety standpoint?

tying the cage into those shock towers would do wonders for the strengthening of them. As for the harnesses.. a bar from the cage that extends down to the shocktowers could be used to mount them

Needs more cowbell..

While the title of "Coolest Justy in The World" is not hard to earn, that thing is pretty cool. Definitely not $6,000 cool though...
