cool car mod, maybe.

[Guest boostcut]

has anyone ever seen a gc8 with a bc5 front end on it or the other way round? i like the bc5 non face lift over the gc8 but i hate the rest of them.

if nobody knows, im going to try it out.

[dubbedup]

I have never seen it, and i'd call it a challenge, but am definatly interested to see what it turns out like

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

iv got headlights, a left guard and a right indicator 4 sale..

89 bc5

u can have em for $50

[Guest boostcut]

i know of a rusty bc? non turbo so will just have to get the turbo bumper to make it look cool. il try and do it so you dont have to modify the gc/f chassis at all. then if some one wants it, they can take it.

Seen a BC5 with a GC8 face, looks shit to be honest. Impreza = curvey, BC = boxy, the two styles aren't interchangeable.

[Guest boostcut]

thats what they said about laurel and cefiro too, but a cefiro with a laurel front looks better than a shitty cefiro front end.

[ReubenH]

Well, i've never seen the vice versa, BC kit on a GC, could be good. I'd sway to the face lift purely cause it's a bit more curvey and smooth, and they can get that nice lip.

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

photoshop it first haha

[Guest boostcut]

oh yeah, i forgot about that nice gt lip they get. im actually going to do this while i swap to twin scroll setup

[BC5RA]

Front V1-4 I've seen, seem to bolt straight on. Bit narrower at the sides than the BC bumper.

Not into it myself.

[Guest boostcut]

i just want to try it, as i can get the parts for free. and i have quite alot of time on my hands.

masturbation is only 5 times per day, and that only takes 5 minutes. so i have some cool shit to do like a new twin scroll turbo and up pipe/dp intercooler piping and probably do a flash oil cooler/filter combo too..( JUST SO MY BLOCK DOESNT CATCH THE BITS OF METAL)

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

dont forget to hook the oil cooler upto your switch eh..

iv got a 89 bumper here but its rough as guts.. are you handy with a plastic welder and paint?

[Guest boostcut]

mate, im handy with everything.

it just doesnt turn out that good most of the time.

Well you will have plenty of Kebab action after that mod, The new prince of the local Assyrian club.

i think the pre facelift front looks about 8x tougher than the facelift, its properly squared off, looks more purposeful

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

this will be interesting..

as for the square/round shape difference.. a s14.5 silvia is similar in the way of s15 lights with the s14 body..

would look cool i reckon, how far would you need to go tho, as in headlight differences, doors etc, not sure if they would line up flush..

[Guest boostcut]

can someone photoshop a gf8 with a bc5 front on it? and then maybe a brumby front? :

[Guest]

I just spent the last 15mins searching google images for something like this... alas, closest was a BG with a WRX bumper and a BC with a CWest front bumper (though Keltik's car came up a few times for some reason???) I reckon you could pull it off with a BL and a V10 and people would barely notice, BC and GC I want to see also now

[Joker]

seen a few leggys with wrx/sti fronts never other way

Ive seen one too. It had a silver gc8 front and bf legacy body. It thought it didnt look to bad.

Im trying to find the pic of it.

[zarnah]

I do recall seing a BF5 on trademe maybe a year or two ago with a gc8 front, think it was in dunedin?
