my budget for mods wll be around 4-5k, i am lookin to get high 200s to low 300s in horsepower. i am not trackin this the main reason i am pickin it up is to get a daily driver w/ a back seat. something manuevarable that can get me around and has some nice low end tourque for the street. i have my mr2 turbo for kicks and giggles. the 1st gen impreza is relatively light compared to the newer gen chassis has always been favorite out of all the gens. unfornately the american versions seem to be underpowered. this is why i was considering the swap.
