Been a member a couple of years now, and been too busy playing with the impreza to upload any pics! Bought her about a year ago completely standard 49k, 2 owners loved it! Then had a "brain wave" wasn't fast enough at 300bhp with the dccd short ratio box so set about stripping her an so the project began...

First was to remove the engine and strip, to my suprise I found some forged pistons an a set of rods! Bonus!

Why is it i buy a grey one and suddenly they start poping up all over the place? lol

classic sti's all had forged pistons mate and those look like standard ones.

rods dont look normal though

The pistons were mahle one's mate, so I bought a rotated gt30r setup from a member on here an then got to specing up the rest of the car to cope with it!
