Here's the impregacy. It finally runs, or burbles rather, i love that subaru turbo burble. The goal is for it to be a very sleepy sleeper. Please post ideas, comments, pics...
Indeed, i think an AWIC would be in order -good idea. I'm thinking i should get some of those "proud parent" bumper stickers too. Maybe some of those convex mirrors that the old folks use.
It is nice not grabbing the attention of the popo, but an added bonus is that all the ricers don't look at my car and try to race it.
BTW i've been wondering -Do you guys think this car can accelerate as quickly as a wrx? i know its down like 70hp from wrx, but it's also down like 600lbs and with the 4.11 gearing i think she might be close.

it will be pretty close. the 4.11 and 600#s make a huge difference. it may run out of breath before the WRX, but the 60ft. time might even be better than the WRX.

Well I challenged my cousin to a duel. He has an 03 WRX wagon. So i guess we will see how it compares. But i think it might be just how you said with the WRX pulling away at higher RPMs where the DOHC probably make a big difference in response.

it needs a bunch of tree hugger stickers to complete the look.
Presently it only has the rust and dents, but a funny sticker package will have to be added to offset the planned 3" mild steel turbo back exhaust. I'm hoping to incorporate 2 home-made PVC perforated core silencers plus a magnaflow muffler painted black of course.
i have the IAC getting air from where the PVC system is supposed to be getting it from. And the airbox is just kind of half of an airbox fliped upside down. i was thinking to would be cool to put luvers in the hood to get air into that thing.
