Hey everyone!
It will remain as RHD, it's OK here as long as I replace the headlights.
It has DCCD but they have not installed it yet, don't really know what I need to do to install it.
Yes, the Twinscroll conversion makes it FAST!!
Midlife...... : What was bad about the Bug RA? I've searched a lot but never really found why.
About the mirrors, I have a lot of $$$ to spend before I replace those

The Bug RA signaled the end of the "Race Altered" line of imprezas as it was really nothing more than a slightly warm version of the STi........ Not the hard core / rally / short geared beast that was expected. Even worse it didn't trounce the Evo of the day.
Subaru binned it and retired to lick their wounds and brought out the Spec C which was much more like the RA's of old

Thanks a lot guys!
I don't know who did the twinscroll conversion really, but I love the sound of the car and it pulls great!
You got PM.
Ah OK! Lucky for me, the car has quite a good spec-list, so hopefully, I'll se a couple of Evo's in the rear this summer
