Hello and greetings everyone. I have just signed up after looking at the forums numerous times for info on my Impreza. I loved the amount of help people here are willing to give so I decided to join. I just recently purchased a '97 Impreza L 2 Door Coupe with the 2.2L Non-Turbo. Not really purchased, more like traded for an old motorcycle I didn't ride anymore. :D So here is what I'm curious about if you don't mind me asking....I am intending to do a complete restore to this car along with slight modifications. I want something that looks nice and has a good bit of power. Not looking to be the fastest on the street. Just something I can goof off with. Here is a list of what I'm working with and also what I'm planning to do. Any suggestions and help would be most appreciated. :D
'97 Impreza L 2 Door Coupe Non-Turbo
2.2L SOHC EJ22 (No Mods)
5 Speed Transmission with Mechanical Clutch
Stock Front Struts/Rear Struts
Stock Front Disc Brake
Stock Rear Drum Brake
My plans for the car:
Redo the entire interior in a black with red trim
Rear Disc Brake conversion with cross drilled rotors all around
2.2L with Stroker Kit and Turbo Charge (Maybe at most 10 pounds of boost?)
Cold Air Intake with open air filter
Rework and repaint the entire car (It has a few dings here and there, but no major body work. Just needs a little bondo and fresh paint.)
98 WRX/STI spoiler
5 spoke gold 16 Inch Rims
Red calipers and coil over springs with black struts
That's all I can think of for now besides minor odd and end things. Any suggestions and ideas for the car is greatly appreciated. Just something nice to play around with in town. Budget is pretty open. Don't want to dump $20,000 dollars into it though it would be nice. :D
