My 1998 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS

[Dpwhitehead1]

Welp, a lot of you already know about my LX. How much time I've spent on it and my plans for the current and final build. This is going to be my daily driver until I'm done with the LX-hopefully by the summer of next year.

I bought it for really cheap, it needs a radiator support, front bumper, pass fender, grille, headlights, and a wiring harness, all for about 500.00 So it's not so bad.

It is an automatic, but it drives nicely. I plan on just fixing it up for drive-ability until next year as i mentioned. Shortly after the finalized piece is put on the LX, my plans will take effect for this! Those plans consist of, either a WRX or STi swap(motor/trans/drivetrain/ecu/harness/etc.

There it is! thoughts, comments etc!

Thanks-Damian.

when i first read it i thought u bought it for 500. the first thing i thought was **** thats a steal. lol.

before i bought my msp i looked for one of these with the wrx swap. a guy at the college i went to had one all modded up, it was beatiful.

500 for the extra parts. lol.

today was hot as s***, but eventful. i pulled out all of the old bad and spliced up wiring, in favor of a new wiring harness. it took, about an hour to do. subarus are easy to work on.

the bad- noticed that the frame is actually bent, only in the front though.. i called for a quote, only about 350 for a frame pull. so i'm happy with that.

i like this car a lot.

that year is my all time fav suby.

nice !!

 

[psyco-joe]

what u don't know what a 22b looks like?

the difference is suble but I think it makes it look sick.
and it doesn't take much to do it. mainly the fenders and bbs rims

doesn't look too bad.. i dont really like the wing, it's a bit too big.

i'm not sure which kind of wheels i have but they kinda look good. it's lowered on skunk sleeves and koni struts i think.. looks good though.

i'm goin to get the frame pulled prolly in the coming weeks.

the wing you have is pretty much the same but lower so there doesn't need to be a change there. of course your car should be made to fit your taste. I just suggested it because I thought it might be a style u liked. + it may differentiate your car from other subys.
good luck with the build (nana).

 

[Dpwhitehead1]
