Front end conversion? 91-94
Hi,
I just purchased a 91 Turbo that was hit in the front. Being that the fenders,lights,bumper,grille are going to need replacemnt will I be able to use that later model parts in place of it?
Thanks,
Ben

Yes, if your willing to replace everything up front, Ie hood, headlights, grill corner lenses and fenders. Just out of curiosity, did your get the one that was on ebay a week or so ago?

I once saw a really weird BC Frankenstein in a junkyard... According to the VIN plate by the driver side strut tower, it was a 1993. It had 1992 taillights, though... And it had 1990-1991 headlights, grill, hood, corner lamps, and fenders. Really bizarre. One side had a 92-94 side marker light in the fender and the other side didn't.

It has to be the car. It's a 94 with 89k and light front damage.

Bear in mind you'll be adding turbo lag to your powerband. . . and if the FMIC is too large, it won't benefit you any more than a stock TMIC. . . UNLESS you opt for a larger turbo. Then, by all means, you're on the right track.Hondaslayer wrote:Everything on the front was destroyed.
I figure while its apart I will mount a FMIC and route some piping for it...
Just something to think about.
Ah that sucks. I'm thinking of doing a conversion of hte front blinkers to fog lights, but I was thinking of adapting the blinkers in a way so that it looks like they are still there. I'd just somehow fit the fog lights into the housing, or at least the front of the housing. Hopefully it wouldn't heat up the plastic too much. The actual lens covers would need some fabrication also since they are made for hte blinkers and aren't exactly clear, but I think it could be done. I think the end result could look pretty good. They'd look like they belong there at least.

I would like to get a larger turbo someday.but for now a small FMIC should do.I have a stock WRX I/C but that does not look like it will fit too well.
