The Slingshot
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...t/vicjohn3.jpg
Started out life as a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS when I bought her brand new in August of 2000. I can probably safely say this was THE first Hybrid build in the SouthEast and after 4+ years she is still going strong. If you want to know more about the buildup, visit my site at imprezahybrid.net She has rewarded me three straight years 1st class EMod finishes at the Southeast Region Subaru Challenge, and she has been featured in SubieSport and in The Monkey's Trunk! :o Currently, she is sitting pretty at 340whp / 360wtq I'll put up the modlist and some pics of her. I'll add more later. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09.../mg2782cu7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...o/e9278e63.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...34_SZDBo-L.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...5/da0dbf26.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...6/c17e4f58.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...ot/21931pq.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...04950164-O.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...890488-L-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...890512-L-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...t/7481b7da.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09..._dynoLarge.jpg THE MOD LIST!

Hello from Rochester, NY in the states. I found a link to this thread over on RS25.com so I figured I would join in.

modding is leagues ahead in the US imo, nice weather, big garages and an abundance of tuning shops, like minded mechanics and modders and shows has a big influence on the sate of tune - especially scoobies.
But nothing like working on your car in freezing cold weather ;) |
Always loved your ride, Matt. Still looks amazing.

Man I love Scooby's..:)

I just joined a few minutes ago, found this tread from the "highly controversial" NASIOC thread. Some people are idiots over there, but it is still a great comunity with lots of knowledge if you know who to ignore.
Thought I might post my car. It is a BD Legacy, so I never get much attention, although it can keep up with 99% of the other cars out there.
