    well the impreza came home on Monday. Needed to put it through its MOT and it sailed through... so me and a couple of mates went and took some photos!




    So let the build begin once again!

    First gen imprezas came in fwd and awd. Different widths will throw off the center differential but gc imprezas awd system is different than the newer design, you can get away with different widths. All models after the gc can only run different offsets.

    Might not make sense, posting on from phone.

    Well i have been informed that it doesn't matter the width wise... only the tyre profile if they are off that it throws everything out!!

    Holy cow...that is a lot of work. Hopefully you will have it back soon. Love these cars. Remember looking at these new on the lot back in the day. Just out of our reach at the time. Can't wait to see more...

    Sweet car, dude. Can't wait to see it whole and back on the road again.
    First gen Imprezas came in FWD and AWD. Different widths will throw off the center differential but GC Imprezas AWD system is different than the newer design, you can get away with different widths. All models after the GC can only run different offsets.

    Exactly what I was thinking.... I thought they were supposed to be all squared up. And as we've seen, it would even look better if they were. I'm interested to see where this goes! I too had a lil set back early in my cars history showing off. An engine carriage mount bent 2mm is apparently 2mm too much. Turned a 1200$ repair into a 3300$ repair
