My GC8 Project
Hey Guys, Here's my 95 impreza project.
Bought it from a guy down the road who wanted next to nothing for it!
this is how it came:
it had been sat in a garden for a good half a year or so, so brakes needed UN-seizing, needed a good run to clear it all out and it was absolutely fine.
Some spoon had cut up the front bumper to put a FMIC in, which i quickly replaced
as well as re-wiring the fogs in
gave the calipers a lick of paint
then a lot of waxoyl
and there we go so far. had the car about a month and a half, and looking for a fair few bits. Mainly some XXR 530's and a decent set of coilovers to begin with.
wanting a full blow over, uprate the injectors to 440's, exhaust mani, sports cat, shine up a few engine parts and give the interior a re-upholster as its seen better days. Also been looking into the Apexi stand alone ECU systems, one of those may come soon too so i can get some more power out of it.
Passed its MOT with flying colours last friday, and ready for me to insure and drive come september the 10th.
hope to meet some new people! cheers for looking

cheers for the comments guys.
yeah i really liked it for the bumpers alone! although i do really like the look of the stock bumper with fog covers and splitter.
I want to get some 50/50 style tail lights, they always make a car look clean! not sure on the window tints either, but i dont want to take them off, only to get them put back on again haha! i might get 50% on so theyre not too dark but noticeable, always makes a car seem too dark inside with over 50% tints i think
