This is a overview of the current state of my GC8. One thing I am trying to do with this car is break the boundries of the common GC8 owner and bring out the JDM side of this car. I think it's a shame that the GC8 chasis Impreza was really left out in America.
Cusco's race car.
I'm trying to bring a few styles together with this car.
JDM Style
Cali Style
My own personal artistic style
And a attempt to bring together some of the rarist parts offered over in the rising sun.
So far I have had good luck with meeting my goals, a few ups and downs and hard decisions but haven't had any regrets so far.

This car is being set up primarly for Show/touge, not really a good mix. But so far It's allowed me to do everything I've wanted to do.
Thanks to:
Side-factory.com for the awesome prices and takeing the time to help me deside on what will work best for me. And the good times we've had.
The following pictures are listed from the day I went to look at the car, to how it looked last month (01/06).
Summer of 2005 I finally found my dream car, a 2000-2001 (dohc, lsd) about 30 minutes away from where I live in a shack of a used car lot. These are from the day I went to look at it.
Pictures of it stock, taken by a friend.
This is how it looked the night after I put on all of my suspension.
My Advans
Hella Flush.

My Zero/Sports (needs fiberglass work)
Whats next?
Finish exterior.
Minor interior tweaks.
Brake work.
JDM WRX front clip.
I plan to get a STi Ver.6 wing and maybe JDM tail lights to finish the exterior, and get the new front bumper and rear aprons on.
After that I will be in the market for EVO4 recaro seats, and a holder for my iPod.
Then I will move to brake pads and lines.
And then I will save for the final finishing piece, a 95+ JDM WRX RA front clip.
I'm saving the engine for last because it is the most expensive and I have 71k on the current engine, so I am in no rush to get rid of good gas milage.
And that is about it, expect more from the car in the future aswell as a tan/brown paint job.
