Yeah only 700 of them made, I plan on putting my 99 bumper on and getting a V5 wing and then getting them painted to match.

I've also decided on replacing ALL of the bushings and dropping it to where it should be, basically making the suspension match the performance of the motor :)

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

That was a rhetorical question because 9 out of 10 Subarus are blue. :)

Widebody it.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

heh. It does look like a darker shade than my Impreza was.

If you wanna get really rare you should buy my arcadia green 2.5rs! lol

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

import one from canada??! lol. Not really much of a subby guy but I do like how they look.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Find one in TX so it's not all rusty?

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Well it's actually rare, a darker blue than the normal WRB for the special 1998 Rally Anniversary edition. :)

2JZ, no shit...

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Well I just want everyone to know I've bounced back and plan on learning from my mistakes and using this to make an even better Subaru.

I learned A LOT from my last build, like what a car does without an FPR :) And the chassis was a great starting point for this build but I knew right away it wouldn't be a good car for the final build and I would need a new chassis due to all of the cancer spots.

With this chassis, it's getting everything Sarah didn't have. The suspension was tight in some areas and terrible in others thanks to the combination of stock 11 year old RS parts and newer STi parts. I basically want to make the suspension and handling BETTER than the engine performance, right now it was decent but I felt it was a little unbalanced and that's totally not my style. I would rather have a car that handles better than it goes in a straight line.

I'm putting together a new list of parts still but I can say it'll have Group N engine/tranny mounts along with ALL new bushings.

Can you please name this one something better like Bernice?

Tarah ;)

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Shaniqua?

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Nope just Tarah.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

I just PMed a guy in the UK about picking up his V6 "boot" lid and spoiler, can't get any more genuine than that!

I'm on the prowl for morret's since they're common there.

This is pretty much what my car will look like when done (minus my FMIC).

You doing those round headlights? That's the only thing i'd not do.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

Tuts my Tarah?

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

That blue one looks great!

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
 

I have devised a plan to get UK spec parts back :D Parts there are much cheaper for instance you can buy a V6 grill there for $16 USD vs here imported for $220.
