Past Life

I've lurked IWSTI since 2003 using a different user name.
RIP RaviShankar *09-23-2003 to 07-21-2008 *

I signed up after reading a 2003 WRX longterm review in Motor Trend.

Anyway, during a 1998 school trip to the UK I saw my first GC WRX Impreza. I was 100% blown away at the sight and sound of that car. It was rumbly like I have never heard before. At the time I wan't sure what model it was, but I knew that the I have never seen any car pull off the blue paint and gold wheel look so well. Right then and there I wanted to learn more about performance Subarus.

I ended up buying a used 1993 Legacy Turbo from a friend of mine. After I did some work to it (cv joints, bearings, breaks, spark plugs, filters, fluids, etc.)it ran like a champ. The good old EJ22T still runs well to this day. I'm thinking about doing a forged build with that motor later on.

Anyway on too my new baby...
