oh yes it is going to be interesting... I'm probably going to update my pictures later on but I'll need to enter before it's to late.

I had originally purchased the car in early 2002 because I wanted something different and to be honest it was the 1999 Impreza 2.5RS that really had me looking at Subarus to begin with. I really didn't know anything about them nor did I even think that I'd do as much as I've done to it over the past 8 years. The car was purchased as an AUTOMATIC because I didn't intend to get into motorsports or anything to do with cars even though all of my relatives were heavy into them (i.e. automotive mechanics or hot rodding...etc.). I ended up joining what now is "NASIOC" (but was i-club) at the time. Little did I know that this would be the start of what I now have come to understand as being a LIFE LONG PASSION for subarus and my embedded automotive background.

I love quality and rarity but as we all know you have to pay to play. Japan has always been somewhere I love and would love to visit again. The acronym JDM never entered my vocabulary until this car. I hesitated purchasing her because I couldn't get over the fact that it looked like a goddamn NEON! It wasn't until my first JDM Grille that I really fell in love with this car and community.

Here I am 8 years later and there isn't a bolt/screw that hasn't been turned, removed or replaced. I know every inch of her. very little to original stock parts on the car. I have done all the work myself GARAGE STYLE no lifts or fancy equipment. I have completely gutted her and dropped the gas tank to get her to how she is today... Since I've purchased her and started modding it I regularly attend track events and other interactive motorsport events that we have locally. I guess I'm a fricken hypocrite hehehe

So here she is:
