If you did change mate you wouldn't regret it..
This is my 3rd Impreza I had a 310bhp Wrx and a heavily modded Uk Turbo 2000 running around 300Bhp - This is leagues ahead and virtually std.
The acceleration on these things is awesome, I haven't stopped smiling yet
Cheers for the comments also, it really is as clean as as it looks in the pic's.

Really nice car. One thing I don't like, and I am aware it is on most imports as standard, is the oversized WRX on the back. Just my personal opinion though.

Thanks mate - Type-Ra's don't come with skirts etc just built to sprint and rally basically, so are stripped of all the fancy bits n bobs and electrical goodies.
Body wise it's totally original other than the de-tango and the mirrors.
The big Wrx sticker is also original it's fitted to all Type R/Ra's - All other Imports that wear them have been stuck on

Stunning but then i would say that as i have a sti RA myself.imho only the 22b is better.
Hope you have better luck with the mirrors than i did,i just couldnt get use to them,do regret selling them but i also like to see what is going on round the back.
