With the main donor parts being from the Impreza

it means that future upgrades are limitless

Engines with 800bhp, sequential gearboxes the

sky's the limit or the thickness of your wallet, and

the advantage of having no engine in the rear means

that you can actually use this car, We have had a

weeks holiday away with the car as there is room to

put your suitcases etc, Camped for the weekend

at this years very wet Chatsworth Rally show with

everything that entails Tent, sleeping bags,

cooking stuff, clothes, gazeebo for over the car

and on and on.

Purists may not 'approve' of a front mounted engine

but when you actually want to use the car to go to a

show for example you want cooler bags and chairs

(and in this country umbrella's and a change of dry

clothes) much better to have some space, and with

a near 50/50 weight split, approx 320bhp,

the chassis and suspension setup plus powerful

brakes this is a fantastic car to own and drive

(not if you are shy and retiring, you will get chased

by camera phones and a 101 questions)

or you could spend £100k+ if you can find an original..................... :-)
