yip, only after market engine mod is the dump valve, had it well checked out today, it has all the protetive skid pan's fitted under neath (apparently it's rare to have all of them fitted?) BHP is 271, being an RA model it has the strongest engine subaru put in any impreza along with a 5th injector and a water sprayer for the inter cooler also as standard it has a close ratio G/box  0-60 in under 4 sec's (so ive been told) mostly alluminium panel's .. mine it seam's is a very rare item due to it having the electric pack fitted.

mine's has been fitted with a later front bumper and light weight 17" pro-drive wheel's

seems a bit silly imo for the original buyer to buy the lightweight version (presumably designed for the rally boys to start with an easier base to work from?  like the escort cosworth motorsport spec?)  and then weigh it down with optional extras...

nice car btw, will you take it along to a bmw club meet one day so we can have a proper look, or maybe put a little video up on youtube?

yeah Stephen, i'll bring it along one time, i know what you mean about adding bit's to it but TBH i knew nothing about subaru's (still don't!) to me it was just a very, very clean example of what i was told is a rare model in the range of impreza's?

since i bought it though, ive noticed a few "RA" car's with the same extras, i'm guessing a few folk back in Japan asked for the electric pack upgrade?

i like the sound of the DV to, gonna get a Blitz make next week, it has a bailey's one just now but it's not loud enough

Ian,
my long list of chores took me past your house earlier today and my god is it clean, I was scrambling for my sunnies

wish your health mate and watch out for those traffic boys when giving that DV and good blast.
I followed them twice today, the basturks don't like it when the tables are turned. you can guarantee I'm going to regret doing that but it was a laugh

I'll get a proper look at it when I've got more time on my hands

///2000 E39 M5 Imola Red/// NO MORE

una volta lei ha avuto l'italiano lei non andr mai tedesco di nuovo haha
