New member with FD 13BT in a Subaru.
I am in the process of building a Subaru Brat with full WRX STi running gear and a FD twin turbo rotary in it 
Got most of the bits - just need to actually build it now.
Still haven't figured out what to do about mounting the rotor on to the Subaru box though

Nothing really exciting yet :
Unstitched chassis rail and cut inner guards out -
Cut 25mm off each side of the front inner guards and reweld chassis rails 25mm further out -
Thats a WRX crossmember bolted in place and STi strut brace because the strut towers are now in the right place
Add a WRX floor and all the STi gear will bolt straight in -
Trim the rear WRX crossmember and bolt that up -
Rear strut towers from an Impreza or Legacy wagon will be welded in to the rear wheel arches.
Thats about where I am up to. Just need to buy or make an adapter for the S6 motor to the STi gearbox. I decided to use a S6 for the rear engine mounts which are in virtually the same position as the Subie ones.
The aim is to make it look like it came from the factory with no obvious custom mounts or fabrication.
