Well here it is, its a 2002 impreza ts wagon. its a 5spd

 

heres the car at the dealership. hard to tell its even the same car now...

 

 

this is after i got it home and cleaned up

 

 

then i got some hankook ipikes and rally armor flaps

 

 

then i sank it

 

 

nice shot out playin

 

 

got the front end fixed and got blacked out headlights

 

 

tinted my fogs and threw some bbs's on for looks ;D

 

 

then i got some 215/65/16 snowtrakkers on powdercoated legacy outback rims. also lifted on forester struts with my stock springs.

 

 

then played

 

 

then i pulled the engine to rebuild the heads and change headgaskets

 

 

back in!

 

 

while it was on the hoist, i plastidipped the roof and got a wrx hood and plastidipped that too

 

 

 

then this...

 

 

aftermath:

 

 

enjoy!! more to come

 

Nice! Looks good. I want to find a wrx hood for mine too. The stock one is so damn heavy!

yeah  i didn't realize how much of a difference it would be until i actually picked the wrx one up. i dont even need my hood prop anymore.

Very excellent wagon!

thanks!

finally got some forester springs and lifted my car! also re mounted my rally armor flaps. heres pics



heres with the fronts on but not the rears.



heres the final result

Looks good!! I see you swapped top hats, was there a reason for this? Forester struts will bolt right into 02-07 Imprezas.

i didn't swap top hats. i had brand new kyb gr2 forester struts with impreza springs on them already on the car, so i just swapped the springs only. and i've still got my stock impreza tophats on there. i got the forester springs for free because all 4 struts were bent haha. they were from a forester my shop ran in a tough trucks competition and it caught major air haha

 

that pile with the stuts and top hats is all scrap

Ahh good deal then. I'm sure the old Forester struts were not happy running Impreza springs! Looks great now. I love how mine rides with them.

Nice to see the DirtyImpreza Love on a dirty Impreza!

 

I need a Subie like this for playing.

 

Great job.

thanks! yeah it handles way better with the right springs on it.

It looks really good, I like seeing it from the lot to now, looks a ton better than stock. Did you change the color between off the lot blue to a darker blue?? Keep on modifying!!

thanks! no i didn't change the color but it really looks like it haha
