My 96' WRX - Subaru Impreza GC8 & RS Forum & Community: RS25.com

**96_WRX_kadena** · 09-27-2009, 07:06 AM

Here is my member journal for my 1996 Subaru Impreza WRX that I bought when I got stationed here on Okinawa in May of 2009. At first I liked it, but now I love it! It is the best car I have ever owned.

. Now that I have done a lot of the things I wanted to it, I'm not sure how I can part with it when I go back to the states. Hopefully I can work something out and take it with me or at least another Subaru.

Currently:

Below is the list of things I have done to it. Hope you like it!
