OVERVIEW

Meet my project 2000 Impreza 2.5RS, which began 4/04. This project will progress as I have money to continue it, as this car begins its life as a dedicated rally/track racer.

April 2005 - 104.6 awhp, 130 lb-ft@4800rpm : Stock
November 2005 - 188.0 awhp, 200 lb-ft@3500rpm : EJ205 Swap
February 2007 - 206.5 awhp : ECUTek Tune

This project is broken down into three phases: interior/exterior, power, and handling.

Thanks for looking! :)

PHASE I: INTERIOR/EXTERIOR

As the newer impreza's get more and more intricate, I find the the "GC" chassis more and more appealing...I'm just a sucker for the classic lines and nothing else will do ;p

However, there were a few minor areas that I thought were not done justice when the RS hit the US market. A lot of people will give you crap for going JDM with the body parts, but I really appreciated the clean and smooth look of the JDM Impreza over what we ended up with in the US and so I decided to try and emulate what I thought was missing.

Mods completed in this phase:

STi V5 Replica Wing
Debadged (and rebadged) Trunk
