Hiya folks! Haven't been posting at all for like the last month or maybe even more? Not that I'm missed or anything But it's because I've been on my 4 week vacation from work.

Now I'm posting this thread because I know some of you liked my previous two Imprezas (and other cars aswell), so I thought why not Smile

And some of you even know about my Nissan, which I still got, but it's undergoing some extensive "surgery" in the quest for more horsepower and better looks. The goal is set to break the 500hp-barrier, and on paper, I have all the parts I need for that Wink

Anyway, since the Nissan is out of comission for the rest of the summer, and I need a car to use year round, I decided to get another Subaru, a brand which I've come to love since owning one WRX and one JDM STi.

This time it's a pretty interesting one... the car is a 2002 JDM WRX Wagon! Very Happy BUT, it get's better - it also has a left hand drive-conversion with STi interior, AND a 2.5L STi engine Very Happy Plus, the front end of a 2007 Impreza Smile

So permanent four wheel drive and 270hp is well enough for some good times!

Got some Apex lowering spring in the mail from the UK. Other plans include a S204 front lip, new wheels for next summer (gonna be on 16" winter wheels, also black, this winter) and some small things here and there.

PS

Yeah you can't even tell it's been converted really, but the GD/GG chassis are almost identical anyway, so it's not that hard Smile The interior LHD-conversion on the other hand is harder to do, but that too is very well done.

Haha and yes, the previous owner lost the cap, gonna get a new one, looks bad without it

I know what you mean, but now atleast it's way more practical than a sedan Smile Fold down the rear seats and it has pretty good ammount of space.

Now that I'm making some money I'm considering getting an Impreza as well, my little 206 is starting to feel lackluster to say the least Razz

Especially since my bro got a Suzuki Swift 1.3 GTI as secondary car now - that thing is a lightning bolt compared to mine. 101 BHP @ 113 Nm on a car that weighs just 820kg is pretty good though, and that's how it is standard. Thing's been chipped, a few parts upgraded, so it probably sits at 115-ish BHP now :/


Anything to watch out for with Imprezas SiN? You'd know, having had a few and all

Any car with more than 250hp is damn expensive to insure in Norway Sad Sad
Iv heard its generally much cheaper to own a car in Sweden. Danes say the same thing...

Where you live at sin? We should race sometime. Would be a pretty fun match up with that vs. the Speed3. I'm currently making 308/320 to the wheels. Would have to go bigger turbo at this point to get anymore power.

I know EVOs and Imprezas are pretty comparable; engine, 4wd. But how reliable is the Subaru compared to the Evo?
