Question Welsh newbie

Hi guys, im new to the site but not to the impreza scene. I owned an MY95 WRX import but after an engine re-build i sold it.


That was 5 years ago and 5 cars ago but each new car made me want an impreza more and more. So here i am with an MY95 ver II sti type ra.

Fitted some speedline 17" flowformed turinis, Scott Lowe mud flaps and a Carbon/Kevlar splitter i found on this years Wales Rally GB.




Got some carbon teardrop mirrors on order so will post up some better pics when i fit them. Also gives me a chance to detail the car too.

Anyway will be nice to here your thoughts guys

Thanks

Dylan

I'm in tears.

I want it back so bad. Simon (SSS) It's your fault.

Everyone should have a go in a classic RA, it's the rawest car I have ever driven and the one I've been wanting back the most. Why did I start doing what I have done to it???

Time to make a start at getting it back!!!!

I do. It's going to get a spot in my garage and will be my second most important project.

Baby Ioan comes first.
