My $1100 Impreza




Hope you like.

130k miles, AWD, Drivers airbag, and other stock goodies.

First order of business is to upgrade the front brakes as I need a new caliper already. What are my options for front brakes on this 1994 L?

Good starting point, if you ask me. The car looks nice and clean and well maintained. Good buy.

Great buy!

You can maybe find an RS set, since some people upgrade to WRX fronts. Or you can go to WRX fronts but you would have to go to 16" rims.

holy crap, nice find! That car is a great starting point for wherever you want to go with it. As far as brakes, I'd imagine LIC would be a good information point or talk to Gruppe-S.

If I was you I'd just pick up some cheap wrx wheels / tires and convert the f/r brakes to wrx... you'll end up wanting to do it eventually anyways so might as well do it now.

yea u can pickup a whole set of wrx wheels and tires for about 200. my friend is selling some if your interested. go to a junk yard and you can find a rolled or wrecked wrx and get the front and rear brakes really really cheap. alltogether might cost you at most 400 if you go to the right place for the brakes

Damn, I wish a deal like that came my way. I'd really love a cheap, beater, Subaru as my second car.
