My SR20DET/Impreza GC8 First Start-Up Video

Some of you that attend the Vallejo Starbucks meet held on Tuesdays might know me. I'm Rob Ljuba. Those of you that do know me have known that I'm building a SR20DET/Impreza. Well I just wanted to share this with you...A couple nights ago we got her started for the first time, and amazingly it only took 1 try and she started purring. Hope you like it.

The SR20 was basically the motor I learned the fundamentals of engine building on, and the GC body is my favorite of all cars pretty much
