Haven't posted for a while, the time had come to sell the lexus and I was sad to see it go. I just needed something faster in my life. I was looking towards bmws for cheap rwd fun but I love jap imports and for the budget I had at the time I just couldn't afford a decent rwd jap.
I randomly came across the impreza and thought I'd give it a try for something different.
I belive it's a wrx model
I know I didn't choose the best on the market with a few rust spots and dings but I don't mind a bit of body work and leaves my options open as to where I want to go with this project.
This is my first turbo car and makes me smile every time I drive it

The list of mods so far:

Drilled and grooved front discs with yellow stuff pads,
Lowered on springs
Front mount
Decat with full stainless exhaust
Wolfrace ultralight alloys

I have already covered over the red bits on body with primer for now.
Also have taken the stickers off

Been a while since I posted, the cars looks have changed a lot since.

I have now fitted Hsd coilovers as you can see the old suspension was a bit tired

As for the body it has a facelift scoopless bonnet, facelift grill, splitter, morette headlights with cold air feeds, and a driftworks bgw on 12 inch brackets(went with this wing as every impreza has the same look and this is a bit different), purple wheels to get rid of the red

looks good mate, has it still got the standard intercooler?

if so how are your inlet temps coping without the intake? considering a front mount?

The scoop less bonnet weighs a lot more that the alloy one that was on there.
I get a few mixed comments on the spoiler

I'm currently looking for a remap as I'm getting a bit of black smoke a 5-6 psi boost
