Yup, it's now completed.

"Terminé la legacy"... she left me on saturday....

after 2 days using my girlfriend's hyunday accent (where is the hp ??!!)
I just received my new toy ... a nice little 99 Impreza OBS , RS Springs, KYB AGX shocks, DBA slotted brakes ... wow, that car handles like a go-kart (compared to my legacy with original springs and shocks)...

now, it just needs a little help for the hp / torque side.

here's some pics. (as usual... hehe)

Is that some kind of front lip on the OBS? I don't think we had that on the US ones...at least not on the one I got for my now ex girlfriend...
Thanks

hehe in fact, i don't realy like that front lip ... :\

I'll probably swap it of the bumper you had on the 2.5RS


Czo : yup it's a lip some guys here found in the west-canada.. they bought one, and cloned it :)

Homeslice : Yup the RS got that crappy bumper because of safety regulation.

Our regulation sais that you must be able to hit a pole at 8km/h and suffer no damanges (only minor scratchs on the bumper are tolerated).

But, the Bumper you guys got on the RS had big fog-lights, and those don't survive the 8km/h hit ... This was corrected with the New impreza MY 02 .

Except that bumper issue, our RS was the same as your's (no rear-wiper on sedan)


One popular mod here is to cut the lower-half of the Canadian bumper beam, and put a Us bumper skin on it.. :) a little bit weak, but same great look :)
