Subaru Impreza

RS 2.5

Fun, pure and simple. The Subaru Impreza RS 2.5 Coupe is the epitomy of import driving satisfaction. 165 real horses fed to all four wheels controlled by a 5 speed bulletproof gear box. What else could you ask for?

Honestly? About 100 more horses. I admit it. I'm greedy. I want to be temporarily blinded by the acceleration of this 2 door rocket. I want to feel the blood drain from my hands and rush to my back as I bury the accelerator. Unfortunately the factory turbo charged version is not available state-side. So what do we do? JC Sports offers a completely bolt-on kit that adds 75% more horsepower (dyno tested). Sweet.

But before investing $2600 USD I'd like to have a little fun with some relatively inexpensive tweaks:

• Anti-lift kit (Less front end lift. Better Handling.) DONE!
• Rear Sway Bar (Less body roll, understeer. Better handling.)
• Strut Tower Brace (Lessens understeer. Better handling.) Don't need it.
• Less Restrictive Air Intake (More O², torque, HP.) DONE!
• Less Restrictive Exhaust (Louder, more HP, torque.)
• Air/Fuel Computer (AFC) (Richens the fuel mix at specified RPM points.) DONE!

All of these should account for more stability and better performance on the road as well as on the local track. Check back often for updates and project photos.
