Looks good!

It's quite a list of mods you got there. I don't dare making a list of my mods, cause I would get a clue of how much money that's been put into it.

What's the engine specs of the US car? I wish I could have gotten my hands on a 2-door too, but they wouldn't sell them here in Sweden.

Thanks guys.

Mossman - Is there a , in your first sentance? Who is good looking? Me or car?
No matter! Thanks anyway.


Motor is 2.5L H4 N/A one. Stock HP output is 165Hp. I belive that my lottle mods opened up extra 15-25Hp puting it into 180-190Hp category.

Most unfortunatly there was no Turbo version of that body style EVER sold in US. Only newer ugly once are Turbo. So, I have to deal with what I got for now in N/A form.

Eugene

PS: Perfect car for Brooklyn and Sweden.

Eugene

Yeah! It's an awesome feeling when you get that perfect powerslide in the snow, and you can really feel that it looks good even from the bystanders point of view!

One of my mods are true rally mudflaps for that hardcore, snowshoveling kind of action! There's a pic of them (mounted on my car of course) in the members gallery if you're interested.

rgds,

No rubbing problems is contributed by the stock RS suspension. It sits higher than the WRX and P1 (softer taller springs and weaker struts) and I also think it sits higher than the Impreza GT Turbo, but I'm not sure what suspension is on them.

Looks great! Nice to see other State side guys wandering on this board as I am.

I have 225/35-18 on ET53 (P1 alloys) and I have no rubbing whatsoever, even though my car is lowered and all. 215's on ET50, 7-7,5 inch wide alloys shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks mates!

I am going for tasteful German Monochrome style. You know - Serious look, serious performance.

Though we'll have to work a bit on the second part.
