Impreza Outback Sport

Purchased it back in 2012. Car was lightly modified with Rota Torques and Racelands. Eventually graduated to some Rota Grids and BC BRs. In 2015 the original spun rod bearing #1. The car was down for months and then eventually fixed with another bottom end. That engine only lasted about 3 months. Again spun a rod bearing. The car eventually sat dormant until 2018 when I started to part it out. Realizing I loved the car too much, I changed my mind and went all in on getting back together. At this point the entire suspension was gone and the rear hatch needed to be replaced along with still needing a new engine. At the beginning of 2019 I picked up an engine that needed headgaskets and spent the next 4 months getting it back together. In April the car finally started again. That May it was back on the ground and moving under its own power. The car has since been updated with the STI arms, new wheel bearings in the front and new tie rods.
