Looking forward to driving my car again soon. The miata has been parked since mid september after our first snowfall. I will be affing a few parts this winter...bigger injectors, flyin miatas "thicker" headgasket, some arp head/main studs n bolts. Stg 2 exedy clutch and rx7 440s. I will then be looking to turn up the boost a little and shoot for for 215-220hp. Did I mention I cant wait to get her back on the road!

Not hating at all....still very much love subarus and always will. Infact I will build another gc impreza one day and look forward to it in everyway. Just making a comparison to a smaller car that handles much much better.

I'm on the other side of the camp... Seems like most MTers have a VAG product + miata, or subie + miata. I have 2 veedubs.
Anyhoo, that was a slick subie, and somehow your wheels are cool in a strange sort of way, and congrats on the turbo, and go ahead and order rods and a bigger turbo and hey, might as well get ID1000's cuz you're gonna get addiiiiiiccccted.

You may have noticed, by reading above, that he didn't jump ship. Still has two subies. Just traded the coolest one for the Miater.

Lol already addicted. You dont think 440s with a 2560 and full 3" exhaust will get me to 215-220? I think so. Should be enough for this year, maybe next winter some pistons/rods and ID1000s.
to be honest my subaru was very fast, and very fun just felt heavy. I put an awesome drivetrain in a car that shouldve been in be better shape. Made 300hp weighed 2800lbs. I have built many of subarus before , and like I said when the time is right I will build a propper heavy pig that I will enjoy greatly.
