Default An Impreza from across the pond

Well honestly I don't post here much. I usually come on, browse, drool, and leave disappointed because of what we in the US didn't get to enjoy... the GC8 Impreza.

Now, I figured my Impreza is almost worthy to put up on this site, the only downside is that it is a N/A EJ25 and SLOW, but hopefully that willchange in the next few months

A few teasers:

Dude that is a lovely car. love the paint work. Is that standard?
What you mean your car is a bit slow. Whats the BHP?
And you're bloddy younger than me. 20-21 years old with a car like that. count yourself very lucky

Standard color. In the US it's called Sedona Red Pearl, I think it's Red Mica in the UK. The car is waxed at least once a week, so.

It's 165 BHP, standard for this model, makes it kind of tough to turn 18" wheels. My goal is to swap in a JDM STi V7 drivetrain complete with six-speed. And I do consider myself lucky, but modifications and payments definately drain my pockets, heh.

Yes, its a carbon fiber P1 replica. there's a company here in the US, Seibon that makes them... i think the website is http://www.seibon.com. It cost me $300 USD.

thanks for the compliments
