Damn, you go through wheels fast!

How often are you busting your clutch slaves? what size master cylinder do you have? I noticed the RS one I had and the JDM units were different sizes.

I busted like 3 or 4 clutch slaves but that was because my throw out bearing was open, I'm not using any RS units though, just jdm ones for the ej20g. No idea the size of the master cylinder as well, just stock.

Are you not selling your car anymore? And are you going to sell your old hood?

old hood is sold already and I'm definately going to finish the car and see how I feel about it. It's not right to leave a project unfinished. If I get bored with it afterwards, I'll sell it as a finished product but hopefully when its painted and sorted out, I'll want to keep it.

I've been really on and off with finishing this project, but I have put in a lot of work over the last few months.

I sourced a v4 front end, because I ended up thinking that every 2.5RS in the world has a v6 bumper, and I think the the v4 on an impreza looks distinctly like it does not belong in america.

I need to change the suspension one more time, because I was given the wrong springs and they ended up being for a GD so the car is super high right now. Otherwise she's just about ready to head to the bodyshop and come back in WHITE!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some progress shots, enjoy!:





STi V3/V4 RA Door Cards + Rear Seats!




You can just about imagine her all nice and shiny if you squint.

Havn't updated these pics since after I got my coilvers. I'm having some rubbing issues in the back so I'm going to have to raise it up an inch or so, which is sad since I think it looks just about perfect now. I also picked up some awesome new tires.

235/45/17 Yokohama Advan Sport, the 45 sidewall is giving me some issues.






Finally got floor mats and shifter trim!
