After missing my STi 4 finally decided to sucumb to ridicuolusly high insurance and fuel bills and re-enter impreza ownership.

Its had a new engine and transmission and made 340bhp/320lb/ft, coupled with the STi V5 Type R gearbox its not slow.

Car has only done 60k, imported in 2004, wasnt keen on buying a MY96 model but by the time im finished the only thing that will be 10 years old is the shell lol.

First things first, facelift the horrible dated front:

BEFORE





AFTER



Just got to find an MY98-00 bonnet to complete the front end facelift.



No pics of the back as it has horrible afterburner rear lights

Next month rims, undecided on Ultra Leggeras or speedline turinis atm, some STi Rear light clusters. Smoothing out rear skirts and respray, MY98-00 rear bumper also.
