Here Sir!

Mine is currently parked and getting upgraded with a rcm fuel pump, 550c injectors, VF37 and matching equal length manifold, exhaust, remap, panel filter, spark plugs and ECU remap.

It's a bit of a project and requires plenty of other stuff too!

I'm hoping to get it all done and back on the road in the coming weeks as I miss driving it!

RB5 #027 is in Jersey, I exported her nearly 5 years ago from a private collector. Been serviced every 6 months from new and currently looked after by The Mansell Collection. My pride and joy that I use for hill climbs, sprints and track days in France :-)

Classic purists will probably tear me to shreds for this one but hey ho, spent a bit of time owning an E46 M3, S2000 etc but couldn't stay away forever. My first classic impreza.
I wanted a short project to build up for the Nurburging next year, but gone a little further than expected.

From this.



To this.


Thanks
