Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

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

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

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

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?

[DoughtCom]

Tarah

[FattyBoomBatty]

Torah.

[cmspaz]

Shaniqua?

[DoughtCom]

Nope just Tarah.

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).

[FattyBoomBatty]

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

That blue one looks great!

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