I haven't been on the list recently because I am building up a 2000 Subaru
Impreza. So far here is what I've got:

* 2.5L boxer engine putting out around 300HP
* Custom built turbo with a top mount intercooler
* Electromotive TEC-II engine management system
* 550cc injectors
* Impreza 22b-style widebody kit
* Volk Racing 17*8.5" wheels running Toyo R1As
* DMS Racing coilovers with fully adjustable shocks
* Rear anti-sway bar
* Half-dog BPM gearset with short throw shifter

This summer comes the roll cage and racing seats.

It has been a great break from working on 30+ year british engineering. It
has certainly taught me a lot and I can beat up on any Lancer or STi impreza
they want to throw at me.

We get the WRX here on March 13, 227 hp turbo.  There is rumor that we
will get the 280 hp STi version "later," whatever that means.

My daily driver Sidekick is fading fast.  I haven't decided if I'll
buy a new car or just put a new engine in the 'kick, but I'm
definitely going to go drive the WRX.  www.imprezawrx.com
