I bought a 1.9wbx with every intention of fitting a subaru into it. Haven't got round to fitting a subaru in yet, but i am looking for a suitable donor at the moment

As said in previous threads buy a car and drive it. You will then know it will be ok and save any grief. Then sell the scrap.

Why the hesitation? Youve seen all the good stuff said and I for one will back it up. If you want power and far better economy than 18 to the gallon(vw book spec on a 2.1 wbx on a run and 16pmg round town!) then fit a Subaru.
Mine is a 2.2 and does 30mpg. A 2.5 quad cam is about 25pmg.
The dark side aint so dark when youve got ya foot slammd down halfway and your still passing wbx powered motors. :lol:
