Default My ugly duckling

It's not an Impreza but it's going to go thru a huge change. Base model is EVO 6 and I'm hoping to turn this into a good looking road going track car. Goal is 500bhp solid no less but maybe more and at least a 100kg diet.

I already have some nice upgrades bought so I'm a little failing on ideas for engine and turbo!

The car is wrapped in white vinyl and that is coming off so here are a few pictures of the car as now.

Oriiginal colour

I have a pocket full of cash and I'm heading to croft tomorrow, I picking up a Damd front bumper as that has a lot of aero built in and I'm also getting a set of NItron R'3.

If its going to handle it's going to handle well

I don't think he has yet!

Steve this sounds like a great project. If your scoob is anything to go by it will be a monster and you won't be stopping at 500hp!

Nope as it's parked in Fleetwood and I'm looking for a garage for it locally next year and it's not a slippery slope as the sliding has already got out of control


Plans were to be at 500bhp but looks like it's creeping up
