It’ll be fine once the springs are changed and camber adjusted. Will update when that’s done.

Ive not driven a standard R to know if it handles better. I’ve had a few Imprezas though including a couple of RA’s. All were on shocks and springs. This is definitely the stiffest, least roly car I’ve had.

Yeah, with similar ratios, yours may be a little shorter than mine. Mine will obviously be A LOT heavier though...

Default Time to get it going


As it stands.

Well its been off the road a long time now, But finally getting it up and running again. Spec to be finalised but as it stands.
Built 2.1 CDB
Ported and flowed AVCS Heads
GT Spec Un-equal headers with Harvey Trick Up-Pipe matched to a MDX321h (higher flow version)
ID1050X Injectors with Top-feed conversion rails
APS CAIK in wing intake
STI8 Topmount
Syvecs S6 with Full knock control
JT Toucan, AVCS Loom, Coil Loom adaptor for on plug coils, sensors.
Alot more to add but you get the idea.

When the engine is out it will be getting a Re-Spray and blend and all the stone chips etc sorted.

Can't wait to get it done!!!

I was 10-years old when this thread started.

Better late than never. Here's my 1999 type R STi version V fresh imported from Japan this year. I picked her because she was the best stock example with no accident history I could find in the UK or Japan.

This has been a good thread, and it wont be long before its gets 100,000 hits!

But I do think that someone needs to start a TypeR owners club!!!
