Re: Factory Five and Subaru ...... What!?!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stuffed a Subaru WRX motor into something that's mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, and weighs less than 2,000 lbs.?
Because that's the next Factory Five car - a two-seater built around inexpensive and indestructible Subaru running gear.

There is no way you can build these for less than 20k. Once you start spending money on these things its hard to stop lol.

Pretty much... it could be done if you use the most basic stuff and don't upgrade anything. Just like you could build a FFR cobra for cheap if you used a foxbody donor and didn't upgrade. However a good build done with good parts will cost about $40k.
