What's up fellas?

Newer the to the forum and decided to make the jump and create a Journal.

I own a 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. My second Subaru and loving the car so far. picked this little RBP RS from a local dealer, and to say the least it was mint. I haven't seen an 11 yr old car in this great of condition.

My RS is currently a DSP AutoX car, and all the current mod is strictly for Autox. I will continue to run it as a DSP through the summer and finish out the season, but once November rolls around... I have a lot of plans for little subbie. Below are current mods and I will update as I buy/put parts into it. Let me know what you think!

hubs, brakes..

I figured since it will have equal parts, WRX (engine) STi (drivetrain+brakes+hubs) and RS (body) it was a fun little name.

It will probably end up more WRX, because that's I have mine from the accident.

I fair pretty decently all things considered. I'm still getting used to my car, but I have been able to beat SM cars (without PAX help). I will see what my car can really do this weekend. A Pro Solo BSP champ is going to running my car this sunday so, that will test the limits.

Do you have any pictures of your RS with the 17x9 Work Emotion CR Kai on? I have the same wheels, but I haven't mounted tires on them yet so I don't know how they look. I originally bought them to autox with my GD but I'm considering selling them because I might sell the GD.
