I say you shoulda went with the GSX

I like the Impreza also.... but I like the 22b even more

That's a nice car. I'm a big fan of the boxer engine, lots of torque+good horsepower. If your going to turbo, I would just drop either a wrx or sti engine in it. Anyways, nice car and good luck.

i would get an old wrx or srt-4 best bang for the buck, then mod that *****

by the way 4,000 for tthat 2.5 rs is pretty good, just i dont think it is worth investin the mod money in it

i love those cars. imo, you should swap the engine instead of boosting it....

FYI, there's no 95 2.5RS; but, it does look like someone upgraded a 95 impreza with 2.5RS stuff. That front end first appeared on the 99 model (which I had).

xtianLANCER04, i MIGHT be faster. It IS AWD so the weight and power to the wheels would lower is somewhat.

If the car did have an engine swap from a 2.0L to a 2.5L, i would look more into it. The guy might be trying to sell the car to get rid of the headaches.

yeah it was swapped... for a 98 RS engine.. ill look into it..and test drive it..

There were some problems with the 98 RS motor. It was the only one that was DOHC. For 99 and up they swapped to SOHC. Also, the 98 and 99 had a rather sensitive MAF sensor that really did not like aftermarket intakes and filters.

The latest issue of sport compact car has a good writeup on what to be careful of when buying one.

However, I loved my 99 RS with the STI suspension. That car was a blast to drive and I wish I kept it (in addition to getting the Evo). www.spdusa.com has a lot of good info on how to get the most out of these cars.

^^^ yeah the car has 2002 WRX suspension...yeah ima check on the car.. and see how it drives.. i heard aboyt the maf sensor problems.. but is having a dohc motor bad? i mean isnt it supposed to be a good thing? so u eman the recent sTI's have sohc? im confused..99+..

thanks guys..im learning alot!
