i picked up a pair of 95 imprezi coupes
one is rusted to death a 2.2 awd auto this one is a solid 1.8 5spd awd 
both are red I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow! first rule of cars: get what makes you happy, your the one paying for it! |

here is the parts car
the 1.8 runs great but it needs an axle i may run replace the axle and drive it before swapping engines i do have a low milage 2.2 in my legacy complete with all sort of new parts I would rather drive a slow car fast as a fast car slow! first rule of cars: get what makes you happy, your the one paying for it! |

if you are going to swap at least get all the improvement that you can. It's easy to swap the engine harness, just have to swap the plug for the throttle or IAC (secret: the pins should be the same, just have to swap the plastic portion of the plug). and the throttle body coolant lines are different, might have to carry over an emissions valve, not hard. we're not talking about a lot of power but look how small the 1.8 throttle body is compared to the 2.2 it has to make some difference.
