This topic will have details and pictures of my Subaru throughout the progress of modifying the car to a 2.5litre.
It has taken a lot longer than planned, but has been worth it. To be honest, if I was in the UK, it would have been finished earlier, but that is one of the problems I faced for living on such a beautiful island.
It all started back at the end of October 2001, I remember like it was yesterday.....
My car was running very well, having a..... actually lets go back even further to when I purchased the car.

I did not like the idea of purchasing a car without knowing the history, so I decided I wanted to purchase a car privately. I had always like Impreza's and decided it was one of these I would like, but which one? After seeing a picture of a Type-R I knew that was what I wanted.

Time goes on, and eventually I get used to the power, some almost 2years later!
I didn't know what to do to increase the power, but after speaking to various people, I eventually went for a BR Developments setup. This included a ..... will continue shortly.
