This is my old MY97 Subaru Impreza RX.

I sold it in January 2008 and purchased a MY06 WRX Club Spec 9. View my other cars to see it.

I have owned it since October 2003 when I purchased it as a 2nd hand family car with roof racks and a towbar. Since then I have turned it into something somewhat different through many hours of hard work and a few $$.

All the modifications you see here have either been designed and built or purchased and installed by myself with the exception of the exhaust and MY00 front end conversion.

2 x Alpine 6in Subs in front doors
2 x Alpine 4in Mids in front doors

Asthetics:
MY00 WRX Front end conversion
17in Prodrive P1 Gold replica rims
Custom front grille and air dam mesh insert
Black Altezza Tail Lights
22B Rear Wing
Clear Repeater Lamps
Lots of decals
DIY in dash switch panel to control custom exterior lighting
Blue underbody LEDS with different flashing patterns and sound sensitive mode.

Realistic Plans:
DIY In car PC with Sat Nav, DVD playback, Exterior lighting control.
The original plan was for the car PC to have OBD-II ECU monitoring, but it turns out that the Australian Imprezas didn't get an OBD-II interface until 1999. There goes that idea.
Whiteline Control Springs. (I would like to go with new shocks and "flat out" springs, but with the quality of the roads around here, it's just not feasible).
Tuned Extractors.
