Hey guys, here is my 91' SS. It is my first car. We've done quite a bit of work to it, and still have a long way to go. Most current mods are a EJ20G swap and Auto to Manual swap. All of the work was done by my dad and I at his Subaru shop in Portland. We are currently running a VF-8 at 7 psi. Hope to get a little bit more soon! lol

Clever faux polished rim on the WRX wheels. Nice touch.

Your car is sex on wheels Devan! :D


Since it is already becoming a Legacy RS, we should finish the job (I will fill you in when I see you over break)

Thanks Nick! What do you have in mind?!


p.s. we just taped off a 1" ring around the stock WRX wheels and painted them sable black metallic from imperial paints in Portland.

Thanks guys!

Hey I was curious if you were parked in front of the American Tire Company in Vancouver across from Ihop? I saw one today (12/21) that looked like yours but it had a ricer lookin muffler.

Yep, It' an 04' Forester XT intercooler. Also found on the 06+ WRX's. It fits very well. It matches the hoodscoop 100%!
