R-Spec Open Light Rally Car & Daily

Well so it begins. First and foremost, red is my least favorite color on cars. Yet somehow I have ended up owning two of them. I previously had this best of a 2003 WRX Hybrid Motor at 330whp/370tq, running the carberry rom, tuned by myself. But I was tired of playing boy racer in the streets and loved beating up my car in the dirt. I saw my car as nice little bank of money that I could sell and put towards chasing my dream of racing in the North American rally scene. So I sold my car and used the cash to purchase two cars, one daily wagon. And another for a start to my Open Light Rally Car.

First I found this little Impreza Wagon for $500 with a "broke timing belt." Ended up having only two bent valves and so I fixed those with my boss and we got it on the road as my daily driver. Pictures to come tomorrow.

Then I purchased this Brilliant Red 2.6l 95 Impreza L from a fellow RS25 member in Michigan. It is an 01 rs motor that has been built into a 2.6l with these specs:
