That's hot....i'd trade the Merkur in for one any day...or an Evo for that matter. Although if money were no object i'd just keep the Merkur and mod it. I know a guy who has one built up for autox and he destroys STi's and Evos on a regular basis.

Oh, it goes. Not too bad, finally got a real job and I'm making a few bucks, so I'm gonna buy the vehicle I've wanted for years and years...fullsize diesel 4x4

Dude, I couldn't tell you the last time I talked to him. It's probably been 4 years at least. He was never online and I pretty much just lost touch with him over the years.

Eff you Cracka! Merk FTMFW!

The Subies are nice cars, I won't deny that, but for sheer uniqueness I would pick either a Merk, SVO, or TC.

sweet car, i got to drive my buddies imprezza ('06), its a fun car for sure, love the well tuned exhuast sound. I'd like to know how far they go stock, my 2.3t would eat it alive mostly stock and 22psi.

The later imprezza's are "basicly" STI's with the 2.5l and a little less power?
Nice ride!

Damn that makes such a huge difference. It looked kinda lazy with the stock grill. That's probably the nicest WRX front end yet.

yeah, it really looks good now.

now i just need to take care of that chrome strip on the trunk lid, then i'll be happy for now.

in the long run, i'd like to get mine looking like this one, just with my body style:

I think they should've stuck with the traditional WRX fender flairs....that was a lot of the car's look IMO.


I think my favorite is either the '99 2 door version or the '05's...those fenders on the '05 are so awesome.
