1999 Subaru Impreza RS review from North America
"Better than sex!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ugh.... nothing has ever gone wrong. Never been to the dealer for anything. I need a clutch right now, but with 240 hp and 235 lbs of torque, it's going to happen!
General comments?
This Impreza does not come with a supercharger. I added the supercharger and intercooler. The supercharger is an Opcon Autorotor and is of the screw type design. I use a Bell Engineering rising rate fuel pressure regulator and a Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo fuel pump. I eat Honda's for lunch all day long!
