To use an expression I once heard on this BBS.. "It looks like it was driven through a "Halfords" window and all the bits are just hanging on"!!!!

Think that expression was used by Clarkson on Top Gear to describe a certain mitsubishi evo

Still very apt though - its hideous.

The S201 was the most powerfull production Impreza that was made due to the revised STi ECU that was used. IIRC the power was 300bhp with 274 lbft.

actually all the parts that were clagged on to the s-201 are available individually from sti - that's why it looks a bit like the contents of the sti parts bin all rolled up together ;-)

if you check out the archives in the poweraxel sti section...
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/bo...=JAEN&wb_dis=2

you will be able to find part numbers etc.

btw - if anyone is interested I have an original jap brochure for the s-201 - it looks bl**dy awful in that too ;-)

POC doesn't have the same lights - the SO1 or whatever this beast is has 3 lenses! I would buy them now if I knew a place that sells them.

I think the existing lights are the most dated aspect of the classic shape and updating the lights makes it cut the mustard...

Importfan (american company) does them and the Impreza stuff can usually be found at http://www.homestead.com/importfan_impreza/impreza.html

main url is Http://www.importfan.com The site is down due to breaking bandwidth limits but i know for a fact they do them or at least have them featured on their website that they sell them. have pics and prices up website aswell as the bodykit for the S201.(Neo Electra bodykit)

I have a few more url's at home. Will look later.
