Hey, So as my other build is pretty much at the point where it doesn't really need much else doing to it, i got a little bored and thought i'd give something else a shot. I wasn't really intending on getting another Subaru, but this one came up so cheap i had to take a shot at it. The advert stated that it had been dry stored for a year and had a few minor issue's that needed to be sorted. The guy selling it basically ran out of space and time to work on it. From the advert pictures it looked pretty clean, and when i viewed the car it had zero rust. Paints not the best but it's going to have a full respray after i've finished playing with it  |

That's funny, I watched your You tube video the day after I bought mine.
What wheel size & offset have you fitted?
Are you going to lower it? If you decide to get any parts from America give me a shout.

They are 18x8.5 et40 i think. I'll run 18's for sure, but wider and with more poke. I am indeed, i'll most likely be going down the air ride route.....i'll be sure to let you know when i order anything dude. |

They are proper beasts, even in stock form with the auto box it launches pretty hard. |

Are you considering a manual conversion? I've looked into a few options but really unsure.

That side skirt is remarkably close on the door opening and front arch! Good work. Loving this.

I'm also surprised how close they are to
Fitting out the box.
Rear bumper has a lot of s13 about it, but I guess you already knew that.
