Default Subaru Impreza RB5

Hi guys,

Just purchased an RB5 after owning many other performance cars e.g cls63 AMG (currently still own it), evo fq360, Audi Rs4 etc. feels so good to be back in one of the greatest classics ever to be made. Since purchasing it I have made exterior modifications only and a few interior. Car is currently running 340bhp. Looking to get more power but need to think about who to give the car to do a forged engine build. Anyways here's some photos. Enjoy!

Nope that photo was when it had the screw driver stuck under it. Took it out all back to normal luckily.

Looks fantastic, great purchase. 340 odd bhp is a sweet spot on a classic imo, and the gearbox should be fine at that level, my wrx is running approx 320-330 and the gearbox has had some serious abuse off me and still holding together. Got a spare ready for when the time inevitably comes.
