Good stuff mate! Had more than my fair share of Pug's in the past (all 205's with various engine combo's) and loved them all to bits
That is a hellish tight looking road up there! Car sounds great BTW

Looks good to me though thats where a dccd gearbox comes in handy, you can use the handbrake on those tight corners you cant do that with a vicious coupling diff

What a stunning car. In my opinion the best looking Impreza, and one of the best looking cars full stop.

brakes were ok, maybe it is your pads? need some new ones myself now. I was trying with my hand brake but i think an adjustment is needed as it screeched but didnt lock up enough to slide round the tight bends.
