Default I am back

I am back into Subarus ( well never really left) after a brief stint in a golf VR6 and a E46 M3. I now have a Bugeye wagon with automatic. Rare I know and not a well catered for model but with a little bit of research I think I have found what I need to make this a very quick auto.

Anyway I maybe on here a fair bit.

Try 5 years!

Welcome back. However, no brownie points for an auto!

The 4EAT auto box with a bit of fettling will run well over 700 bhp.

I have rethought my ideas and will do a project thread but needless to say I bought a new car which took all my TOY funds, so 330bhp goal and good handling and looks.
