I have that magazine! Loved that car the first time I saw it. Sad to see they parted it out, but nice to see it on the road still!

Paint that bumper! poke poke

Since I didn't get my friends impreza, this car is staying with me, after a month of sitting I took it to the shop and lifted it up to see what's going on and what needed to be replaced. Suprisingly all the suspension bushings look good noticed few have been replaced with polyurethane bushings, I did find a few issues, motor mounts are cracked, oil leak around the turbo looks like the feed line or return. Time to order me some parts!
