Default Cheers from the USA

First real post, thought I would get acquainted with you blokes as I'm looking for some parts to throw on my GC.

Life began for me with Subaru when my brother brought home his '99 2.5RS with a spun rod bearing....so I rebuild the entire car and in the 3 months it took I purchased a '02 WRX and modded away.



Only to have it totaled out due to a drunk driver hitting it where she slept:





Due to this I was hooked on Subaru's so I decided to sink my cash into the WRX in the backgorund:



She began life like this:



and ended up looking like this:





Mods comprised of a TurboXS Stage 4 powered by a Power Enterprise of Japan PE1818F turbo, big injectors, custom fuel system, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, Prodrive Springs, Grp-N top mounts, JDM 4 piston front calipers and a host of other mods. My favorite mod was fitting the Nissan Skyline GTsT rear wing which is the only Impreza which has ever received this part.







Winter mode:

Wheels are rare 17x7.5 Takechi Racing Project CP0-35's powdercoated BMW gunmetal....13 pounds a wheel.



Unfortunately, I had to sell the WRX and started modding my '00 Impreza L Sedan..went from this:



to this



Fitted the Racing Hart wheels:





Running Koni Sport Adjustable Inserts in stock strut assembly's, JDM Gymkhana black springs, Grp-N top mounts, 4-piston front calipers, SS lines, drum-to-disc brake conversion in the rear, WRX sedan rear sway bar, 2004 WRX sway bar mounts, PRM Intake, Stromung midpipe and Prodrive oval tip back box.

Plans to drop in some turbo power in the future, but right now working on ICE...all Phoenix Gold vintage amps and accessories with Canton speakers and TC Sounds subwoofer.


If can help a suby brother out, I'm looking for a non-ABS, 4-wheel disc proportioning valve for the car above. Contact me ASAP if you have one for sale.
