this thread was started because i wanted to share my project with the forum i visit so often.

100% of the work was done by me alone.

2001 Subaru Impreza Coupe: (36,*** miles)

engine bay before: (2.5 liter, 4 cyl)

engine bay after: (JDM STi type-RA 2.0 turbo)

interior before: (removed oem sound deadening material)

interior after:

me redoing the wiring, vacumn, and fuel lines for a cleaner look:

intercooler view: (dad in backround, some may have seen some of the car's he has built in mopar magazine's)

every single nut, bolt, hose and wire has been either replaced, or re-done with new parts to make everything the way it should be from the factory in my eye's.

this car will mostlly be used for street and i would love to run the "street class, time attack challenge" , 2008 season...but its nothing 100%.

i will update this thread with progress as it happens.

love it or hate it.

nice job! and good luck on the time attack... sure there will be some heavy hitters.

Awesome car. The first thing I thought when I saw that you did all the work yourself was, "Well, it's not like he could have been shooting or anything."

That's a slam on IL, since that probably wasn't clear. Thank God I evacuated that hellhole.

Actually, since it is used you sent your money to the US of A.

My only complaint would be about the placement of the ammo box. I would have turned it around 180. Was it placed that way to clear the trunk lid? Other than that, beautiful build, keep us informed.

Man thats tight. I love the JDM air circulation device you had in there.

actually..all of the parts on it are japanese, and alot of the parts are japanese only.

+ the lady i bought the car from was the owner of a japanese sushi resturant that i go to.

i add'd some full pics of the car at the top of my post...the pics of the car with the silver wheels has been chopped to see what it would look like lowered on 16's haha

currently the car needs: (in order to be ready for the streets)
hood
wheels
tires
suspension
TUNING!!!!

my goal is a reliable 300whp on 16-18psi, 93octane
